"palamuru-project"

Telangana Deputy Chief Minister emphasises that Congress government initiated and completed projects like Koil Sagar, Bhima, Kalwakurthy and Nettempadu on the Krishna River

The Rs 50,000 crore project has seen no significant progress in the works ever since the inauguration of the first pumphouse by the then Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in September 2023

Raises concerns that Congress government's move to divert water from Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme will affect erstwhile Mahabubnagar and Ranga Reddy districts

Officials said the dewatering process is progressing efficiently, with pumps and other equipment deployed to remove the excess water

Former minister Niranjana Reddy said the State government is allowing valuable Krishna river water to flow into the Bay of Bengal while farmers in the Palamuru region desperately await water for their fields.

All that the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) needs finally is the appraisal of its detailed project report (DPR) by the Central Water Commission.

Minister formally launched the check dams at Devarkadra and Narayanpet in the erstwhile Mahabubnagar district
