Telangana CM Orders Water Project Repairs and Water Transfer Plans
The leader of Telangana, Chief Minister Reddy, is telling the water officials to make a plan to move a lot of water from one place called Tummidihatti to another called Sundilla.
He also wants them to figure out how much it will cost to fix the Sundilla water gate, which is broken and needs fixing to get water to another project.
He wants to make sure the companies that built these water gates are blamed and made to pay if they are faulty.
The Chief Minister is also checking on other water gates in a big project called Kaleshwaram, which have cracks.
He wants to make sure everyone gets enough water for farming and drinking, and he will check again soon to see how the work is going.
Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy ordered irrigation officials to plan for transferring 80 TMC of water from Tummidihatti to Sundilla.
Plans are to be made for repairing the damaged Sundilla barrage, which is crucial for supplying water to the Sripada Yellampalli project.
The Chief Minister also directed officials to prepare plans for supplying irrigation and drinking water to the erstwhile Adilabad district.
Officials must hold contract agencies responsible for damages to the Medigadda, Sundilla, and Annaram barrages.
