"medigadda-barrage"

The project ayacut would be given irrigation from the Sripada Yellampalli Project and the pumping operations will commence in two or three days, says Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy

The officials were more or less certain of the scope for lifting water from Medigadda barrage even with all its gates fully open with over eight to ten lakh cusecs being let off.

The Godavari has started sending a whopping 80 TMC of water a day downstream from the Medigadda barrage, but several of the projects upstream have still been drawing a blank in terms of inflows received.

Ahead of the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) review of the interim works on the Medigadda Barrage. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy made several suggestions to officers and engineers on Sunday.

The barrage, a crucial component of the Kaleshwaram project, with all its flood gates opened is able to discharge over 3.70 lakh cusecs of water without any signs of distress

He stated that the Medigadda barrage, which was written off by the Congress government, had disproved all the allegations against it by standing resolute and rocksolid surviving the flood once again

Three of the major projects- Medigadda, Sammakka Sagar and Seetarama Sagar on Godavari have been receiving heavy inflows and they are likely to rise further as heavy rains were forecast in north Telangana districts for the next two days.

These bids were for the auction of 14 blocks. These sand blocks are located within Mahadevpur mandal of Jayashankar Bhupalpally district.

Clarification comes in the backdrop of rumours that piers had once again sunk in the barrage

The Congress government here appears to have an eye on the sand dunes at the Medigadda barrage to make some money.

Speaking to mediapersons at Telangana Bhavan here on Wednesday, Suman said the tender violated the guidelines of National Green Tribunal and warned that if the government doesn't reconsider, the BRS will take legal course.

Patha Venkataramana, who led the team, told pressmen that building the barrage across Pranahita river was the only option left following sinking of the piers of the Medigadda barrage, a part of KLIP.

They are leaking news and deciding the masterminds and culprits, with no concrete evidence. Such allegations without evidence, will not stand legal scrutiny," he said.

Medigada barrage, an integral component of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, in its present condition may not allow lifting of water at the designed capacity of two tmc a day.

The CWPRS was engaged by the State government along with two other Central agencies for further investigations.

Ahead of his visit, Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Thursday had a review with officials of the Irrigation Department and representatives of L&T.

Leader of Opposition and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao said latest reports indicated that regional parties were going to outperform national parties in this elections.

He also interacted with the Chief Engineer of the Project and Engineer in Chief (General) Anil Kumar as part of his information gathering exercise at the barrage site.

The Congress was resorting to cheap politics for political mileage in the Lok sabha elections, he said.
