hyderabad

The Nagarjunasagar project (NSP) ayacut would be linked to Kaleshwaram project waters to prevent drought seasons due to lean flows into the Krishna Basin, as it has happened this year, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said at an election meeting in Kodad on Sunday.

Asking people to support Bollam Mallaiah Yadav one more time to continue the good work being done, the BRS chief said that the struggle for getting NSP water used to be a regular feature for farmers of Kodad area but they were being given water regularly after the formation of Telangana, including water from Kaleshwaram project, for the last three years. Taking Asif Nahar canal till Udayasamudram would ensure sufficient water for two crops in the coming days, he stated.
