Madanapalli (Chittoor district): In an effort to ease out the water problem in Madanapalli town in the ensuing summer season, Krishna water was released from Handri Neeva Canal to Chippilli reservoir.
Panchayat Raj Minister P Ramachandra Reddy along with Deputy Chief Minister K Narayana Swamy formally released the water which was brought from Cherlopalli Reservoir in Anantapur district to Chittoor district through Punganur Branch Canal of Handri Neeva project.
Speaking on the occasion, Ramachandra Reddy said that bringing Krishna water will help to meet the increased water demand in the coming summer.
