Reiterating his government’s commitment to expanding irrigation in the State, Water Resources Minister Govind Karjol has said that the State Government has decided to demand national project tag for Upper Krishna.
“The Union Government has already declared Upper Bhadra as a national project. We want the national project tag for Upper Krishna as well. The tag will facilitate flow of funds from the Union Government to the project. It will help the expansion of irrigation in the command area,” Mr. Karjol said.
He was addressing a media conference in Kalaburagi on Sunday.
