"yellampalli-project"

In a significant move to support paddy cultivation, irrigation officials in Peddapalli lifted 0.15 TMC of water from the Yellampalli reservoir using motors at Nandi Medaram and Gayatri pump houses.

"It is shameful that the Congress government has pushed its employees to such extremes. The Chief Minister, who is causing emotional distress to the employees, should apologise immediately," said KTR

Irrigation officials firm on resuming the pumping operations under the project and keeping all the pump houses ready.

The project is filled to the brim due to incessant rains and water being released from the Kadem project.
