Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday said that the Externally Aided Projects (EAP) which are being executed at a cost of Rs. 25,497.28 crore should be completed as per the timeline.
During a review meeting, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the projects came with the aid of the New Development Bank (NDB), the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JAICA), the World Bank and KFB.
In the arid lands of Rayalaseema, Prakasam and north coastal Andhra, tanks should be linked with lakes, he said. Taking the Assembly constituency as a unit, the tanks should be mapped to match the data and water should flow by gravity from the lakes. This would result in a significant swell of groundwater levels paving the way for environmental balance.
