The participants of Jala Jagarana Deeksha launched by the Rayalaseema Saaguneeti Sadhana Samithi (RSSS) and a host of Rayalaseema rights groups remained awake overnight at the Siddheswaram in Nandyal district. The protesters are demanding the construction of a bridge-cum-barrage at Siddheswaram instead of a proposed wire-stayed bridge to create link between Telagnana and Andhra Pradesh.
The RSSS members led by their president Bojja Dasaratharami Reddy held several group discussions on the problems pertaining to the supply and availability of drinking and irrigation water in the region and the possible solutions.
