"pranahita-chevella"

The Congress government plans to revive the Pranahita-Chevella project by merging it with Kaleshwaram. The redesigned plan bypasses coal zones in Adilabad, reduces costs by Rs 2,000 crore, and uses existing Kaleshwaram lifts for water transfer from Thummidi Hatti to Yellampalli

BJP MP Etala Rajender challenged CM Revanth Reddy to prove that the Kaleshwaram project lacked cabinet approval, asserting due procedure was followed. He also demanded a swift probe, criticised the Congress party’s track record, and urged urgent Medigadda repairs

This apart, the Central Water Commission had questioned the availability of 160 tmc of water for diversion to Yellampally reservoir.

Pranahita Chevella project would have been a much more viable option compared to KLIS, says Uttam Kumar Reddy
