Key Decisions on Tummidihetti Barrage Expected in February

Key Decisions on Tummidihetti Barrage Expected in February

The Telangana government is getting ready to make important decisions about building the Tummidihetti Barrage.

This barrage is part of a bigger project called the Pranahita–Chevella project.

The government is almost done preparing a detailed report for the project, called the DPR.

They are looking at two different ways to build the canals needed for the project.

One way involves a long gravity canal and a tunnel, while the other uses a different route with a pumping station.

The government is talking to the Maharashtra government about the height of the barrage because it affects both states.

They plan to meet and make final decisions in February or before the budget meeting in March.
