Release water to save withering crops: Sathupalli MLA
Sathupalli TDP MLA S Venkata Veeraiah urged the State government to release water from Paleru reservoir in Khammam district through Nagarjuna Sagar Project twice a day to save standing crops and lives of farmers.
​Khammam: Sathupalli TDP MLA S Venkata Veeraiah urged the State government to release water from Paleru reservoir in Khammam district through Nagarjuna Sagar Project twice a day to save standing crops and lives of farmers.
In a letter to Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao on Thursday, Venkata Veeraiah stated that the farmers of Khammam district near Paderu reservoir were not getting good crops and their crops were withering away due to insufficient water.
Under the circumstances, the crops in one lakh acres were drying putting the toiling farmers in a quandary.
‘Hence, I request you to accord permission to Irrigation officials to release water two times from Paderu reservoir through Nagarjuna Sagar so that the farmers can save their crops,’ the MLA stated.
