Revanth Reddy urges Bhupender Yadav to clear Telangana irrigation projects
An important leader from a state in India had a big meeting in the capital.
His name is Revanth Reddy, and he is the Chief Minister of the state of Telangana.
He met another leader named Bhupender Yadav, who works for the national government.
This leader is in charge of protecting forests, the weather, and nature.
Before big building projects can continue, they need a special permission called an environmental clearance.
Revanth Reddy asked for this permission for four large water projects.
These projects are meant to bring water to farms and people, but they cannot be finished without the permission.
The state has already spent a very large amount of money on them.
Because the permission is late, the projects are stuck and are costing even more money.
Revanth Reddy is asking the national government to give the permission quickly so the projects can be completed.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy met Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav in Parliament on Wednesday to seek environmental clearances.
The projects awaiting clearances are Palamuru-Rangareddy, Gouravelli, Seethamma Sagar and Dindi.
Telangana has already spent Rs 36,437 crore on Palamuru-Rangareddy, Rs 3,187 crore on Dindi, Rs 1,835 crore on Seethamma Sagar and Rs 1,350 crore on Gouravelli.
Reddy said the lack of environmental clearances has stalled the projects and led to an escalation in costs.
Citing a recent Supreme Court verdict, Reddy urged Yadav to grant environmental clearances without further delay.
