Kaleshwaram built despite hurdles, use it properly: KCR

Hyderabad: Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said he did all the hard work to bring river water through Kaleshwaram and other projects to irrigate every acre in Telangana and now it is up to elected representatives, officials and experts to chalk out plans for its judicious and optimum utilisation to achieve the dream of ‘Bangaru Telangana’.
The CM expressed unhappiness over several tail-end and upper level areas not getting water in combined Karimnagar district despite availability of water from Kaleshwaram. “ The Upper Manair project is a boon to Karimnagar and it should be restored back to its old glory,” he said.
The CM held a review meeting on irrigation projects and facilities in combined Karimnagar district and elsewhere in the state during his tour to Rajanna-Sircilla district on Sunday. He directed representatives, officials and experts to chalk out and submit a cost-effective report on supply of water to tail-end areas, upper land and every acre in the assembly constituencies of Balkonda, Korutla, Vemulawada, Sircilla, Jagtial, Choppadandi, Dharmapuri, Karimnagar, Manakonduru, Ramagundam, Pedapalli and Manthani.
