Move to set up hurdles to diversion of Krishna water by AP
The Telangana government has decided to construct a slew of irrigation projects to set up hurdles to diversion of Krishna river water by Andhra Pradesh. One of them will be construction of a barrage near Alampur to divert 60 to 70 tmc ft water by pipeline. The barrage will come up within the limits of four villages -- Gummadam, Gondimalla, Velaturu and Pedda Maruru -- between Gadwal and Wanaparthy districts. The water will be used to fill Edula reservoir which was part of Palamaru - Ranga Reddy lift-irrigation scheme, it was decided at the Cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday. Further, the left canal of Pulichintala project will be constructed to irrigate two lakh acres in Nalgonda and Suryapet districts. Another one lakh acres will be irrigated in Nadigadda area by a lift-irrigation scheme from Sunkesula reservoir. A flood flow canal of Bheema, a tributary of Krishna, will be constructed at the point where the river entered Telangana at Kusumarthi village of Krishna mandal.
The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
