Projects on Krishna and Godavari Rivers which are on the fast track completion are very much before our eyes said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao the CM of Telangana.
He was addressing the state on the eve of 73rd Independence day.
The Kaleshwaram project, a man mad wonder that caught the attention of the whole world, was inaugurated in the presence of Chief Ministers of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh recently. The entire country lauded the project as a symbol and message of matured governance of the state, its diplomacy and culture of friendship to the entire country. There is an all-round opinion that the Live and let Live policy adapted by the Telangana Government will be worth emulating by other state governments.
To complete such a massive project, it generally takes 15 to 20 years time. I thank all the workers, officials, engineers, staff who weathering cold and hot climate, working in three shifts daily and putting in hard work day and night have completed the project within a short span of three years. I once again thank all those achievers who made this a reality.
Through the Kaleshwaram project, the state is able to utilise 400 TMC of assured water. 100 TMC through Sitarama Project to supply water to Khamma district, 75 TMC through Devadula project to supply water to the united Warangal district can be utilised as assured water.
The government is making all-out efforts to supply water for irrigation through these fast completing two projects by next year. I am sharing happy news that by next June, farmers in the state will get an opportunity to get an additional 575 TMC other than the existing Godavari projects water.
The government has completed on a fast track all the ongoing projects in Palamur district. We are able to supply water to 11.20 Lakh acres in Palamoor district along with Jurala.
Like Kaleshwaram, Palamoor-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation project will also be completed on a fast track and water for irrigation will be provided to farmers in united Mahbubnagar district, Vikarabad and Rangareddy districts.
