The Hindu
Detailed project reports submitted to CWC five months ago
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has expressed his anguish at the Central Water Commission (CWC) delaying clearances for half-a-dozen irrigation projects in the State though the detailed project reports (DPRs) were submitted five months ago.
The six projects were among 11 declared as unapproved in the Central gazette notification defining the scope of Godavari River Management Board (GRMB). The projects are Sitarama, Samakka Sagar, Mukteshwar (Chinna Kaleshwaram) lift irrigation, Chanaka Korata barrage, Choutupalli Hanumanth Reddy lift irrigation and Modikunta Vagu project.
Mr. Rao also asked irrigation officials to submit proposals to the CWC to delete from the gazette notification five projects — Kaleshwaram (additional one tmc scheme during flood period), Gudem lift irrigation on Ellampally project, Kandukurthi lift irrigation, Ramappa-Pakala lift irrigation project and P.V. Narasimha Rao Kantanapalli project.
