Congress leader and former Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar alleged that the BRS regime was making ‘tall claims’ on providing Godavari waters from Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) to Rajanna Sircilla district’s rural hinterland without fully completing the Package 9 works of the KLIP to realise the full irrigation potential of the Upper Manair Project.
He was speaking to reporters after visiting the Upper Manair Project at Narmala in Gambhiraopet mandal on Saturday.
Though the Malkapeta reservoir has been completed, the canal/feeder and other related infrastructure works to ensure supply of water for irrigation to the farmers of tail-end areas are yet to be completed, he alleged.
