BRS MLC questions CM Revanth Reddy’s negligent approach towards its legal issues

Urges the Union Minister to safeguard Telangana’s rightful share of Godavari River waters and ensure timely project approvals

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

Alleging that the claims made by the Chief Minister were false and far from reality, Harish Rao said the Congress government failed to fulfil promises made to farmers of the State

The state government has responded by releasing Rs 60 crore to address immediate needs and maintain the PRLIS, where work has been stalled since December last.

Close on the heels of the submergence of the Vatti Vagu pump house of the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme, the Bhakta Ramdas Lift Irrigation Scheme (BRLIS) pump house in Khammam district suffered extensive damage as flood water entered it.

The Vattem Pump House, a key component of the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Project, was partially affected by the flooding.

Despite being a major player in the infrastructure sector, MEIL has been under the radar in terms of public perception.

Considering the hardships being faced by the Palamuru people, the Congress government laid the foundation for the MakthalNarayanpet-Kodangal lift irrigation project.

The directorate also said the project involved the utilisation of the Krishna river waters.

Before Telangana formation, the Congress ruled erstwhile Andhra Pradesh for over five decades, but failed to complete irrigation projects to provide even 2-3 TMC in the Palamuru region, said BRS leaders

Centre would be extending 60 per cent of the project cost, while the State has to meet the rest as its share

Speaking on the thanksgiving motion to the Governor's address at the assembly on Saturday, Maheshwar Reddy said the Congress government should find means to implement all the promises it made to the people of Telangana.

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.

The progress of works on the drinking water component of the project has become the envy of parties that challenged the project in the courts of law and the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal.

The impact on the environment was minimized by reducing the submergence to only three village and eight tandas. Land acquisition need was brought down from 85000 acres to 27,000 acres by redesigning the projects.

After Telangana government came to power, 24 hours free power was being supplied to the farmers, said Srinivas Goud

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao explained the impact of the State government's efforts that propelled the growth of the State on multiple fronts. He stated that Telangana made a remarkable progress across various sectors in shortest time.

Officials of PRLIS embarked on the task of conducting final tests for the dry run of six more high powered pumps of 145MW each in both Stage II and Stage III of the prestigious project
