Retired Engineers Urge Telangana to Lift Kaleshwaram Water
Some retired engineers and farmers in Telangana, India, are asking the government to take water from a big project called Kaleshwaram.
They say this is important because there hasn't been enough rain, and farmers and people need water.
They think it's possible to take water from the project and want the government to check and do it.
They also say that the government should not let politics stop them from helping the people.
If the government doesn't do anything, they might protest.
Retired engineers and farmers' associations urge the Telangana government to lift water from the Kaleshwaram project due to severe rainfall deficiency.
The water level reached 97 meters in July, making it feasible to lift water if the level is at 93.5 meters.
Proponents argue that lifting water is necessary to support farmers and the public, and that political considerations should not hinder this effort.
Opponents may argue that safety concerns and proper protocols should be followed before lifting water.
The meeting was attended by various political leaders and farmers' associations, who pledged to bring their views to the attention of the state government.
