State government had sanctioned the SE and EE office to Narsampet for better supervision of activities as a part of the reorganization of the irrigation department, said MLA Peddi Sudharshan Reddy

Warangal Rural: Narsampet MLA Peddi Sudharshan Reddy on Tuesday said the TRS government will ensure irrigation to every acre of land in Narsampet constituency through Ramappa-Rangaya Cheruvu and Ramappa-Pakhal projects.
