Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu on Saturday allayed the fears of the farmers over the depletion of water in the Obul Reddy Gundlakamma reservoir in the wake of a gate suffering damages.
He said that repairs would be carried out expeditiously during the ongoing kharif season and water ensured to the farmers during the season itself.
Inspecting the project, Mr. Rambabu said, “Farmers coming under the Gundlakamma command area need not worry. If needed, Krishna water will be diverted through the Nagarjunasagar Right Bank Canal to the Gundlakamma reservoir to save the crops.”
