Tension gripped Damaragidda in Narayanpet district after farmers opposed a land survey for the Narayanpet–Kodangal Lift Irrigation Project. Farmers raised slogans, demanded Rs.30 lakh per acre as compensation, and staged protests following the arrest of oustee leaders
The Congress government has come under scrutiny for sidelining the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) while its flagship Narayanpet-Kodangal Lift Irrigation project has faced multiple delays and controversies. Despite financial allocations and promises to complete both projects, work has stalled, leaving critical irrigation projects in limbo.
A Revanth Reddy on Sunday made it clear that he was going ahead with the project. Speaking at Mahabubnagar, he said anyone obstructing pending projects in the district would not be forgiven by the youth of Palamuru.
