Congress MLAs release Dhammasagar canal water for farmers
In Hanumakonda, two MLAs from the Congress party opened the gates of the Dhammasagar reservoir to let water flow into the South Canal.
This was done to help farmers who are having a hard time because there hasn't been enough rain.
The MLAs performed a small ceremony before opening the gates, wishing for a good farming season.
The water will help farms in three nearby areas.
The MLAs said the government will keep giving water if the rain fills up the reservoir again.
They also promised to always support farmers.
