The Irrigation department successfully released Godavari water from Kaleshwaram project into SRSP through Mupkal pump house on Friday.
The water was released in the presence of Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Ministers Vemula Prashanth Reddy and Indrakaran Reddy. Special puja was performed ahead of the release of water. Release of water was necessitated as the monsoon had been weak since more than a month and farmers, unable to bear the delay, started plantation in the hope of rainfall at any point of time.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Prashanth Reddy described the event as historic as Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao Government had successfully ensured that water was lifted into SRSP which was located at a much higher altitude.
