The state Government is planning to lead an all-party delegation to the center to resolve various issues about the irrigation projects in the state of Telangana.

The Congress Government is in a dilemma if they should scrap the project completely as it was damaged or if should it go for repairs. The technical report is awaited on this aspect.

For the time being, it will not store the water under the damaged Medigadda barrage. The BRS leaders are asking for the repair of the damaged barrage.

Uttam Kumar Reddy said the government will take suggestions from all parties for moving forward on solving the problems plaguing the irrigation sector and if need be, would lead an all-party delegation to the Centre towards this end.

He also said the government will take into consideration requests made by various MLAs about irrigation projects in their constituencies and take appropriate action.

The government is committed to solving the problems in irrigation in the state and will move forward with transparency and accountability, he said.

As far as the Medigadda barrage is concerned, Uttam made it clear that there was no question of storing any water there as the barrage is in a precarious state.
