CM opens ₹560-cr. canal releasing Krishna water to Kuppam, Palamaner constituencies

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday inaugurated the Kuppam Branch Canal of the Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi project and released Krishna waters for the Kuppam and Palamaner Assembly constituencies.

The canal has been constructed at a cost of ₹560.29 crore under Phase II, in Rama Kuppam mandal, and is intended to provide irrigation water to 6,300 acres of ayacut through 110 minor irrigation tanks in the two constituencies.

Addressing a public meeting later, at Gundisettipalle in Shanthipuram mandal, the Chief Minister announced that the HNSS waters travel 672 kilometres through hills and forests from Srisailam, before entering Kuppam. “With this, we are making history today,” he added.
