Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will dedicate to farmers the Penna Barrage and Mekapati Goutham Reddy Sangam Barrage in the first week of September, according to Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu.
Addressing the media here on Saturday after overseeing the arrangements being made for the Chief Minister's visit, he said it was gratifying to note that the foundation stone for the two projects had been laid by Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, and the twin projects were completed by his son. All the irrigation projects started during the erstwhile regime of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy under ''Jalayagnam'' would be completed on a top priority basis, he added.
