Harish holds talks with Maharashtra minister
Nagpur: The Maharashtra government is understood to have agreed in principle about the construction of Tummadihatti barrage provided there would be no submersion. With regard to the Medigadda project, the Maharashtra government has decided to study it in detail and give its opinion at the Pranahita Board meeting to be held on December 29 and 30.
This was decided at the meeting of the Telangana State Major Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao had with his counterpart Girish Mahajan at Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha in Nagpur on Tuesday. He was accompanied by irrigation advisor to the government Vidyasagar Rao, Irrigation Principal Secretary S K Joshi and other senior officials.
Harish Rao informed the Maharashtra Minister for Irrigation about the projects the Telangana state was taking up so that it could utilize the allocated waters from the Godavari river to the optimum level. He informed Girish Mahajan that the issue of irrigation had become an important part during the agitation for separate Telangana as the region had suffered neglect in the undivided Andhra Pradesh.
He said that the people had pinned high hopes on the new government in Telangana and hence it was not only trying to complete the ongoing projects but was also planning for construction of new projects in next five years.
This, he said, would help in putting a check to the farmer suicides which were the result of neglect of this sector for several decades. He said the previous government in undivided Andhra Pradesh had taken up Tummadihatti project without the consent of Maharashtra. It had also started digging canals. The Central Water Commission had expressed its doubts over the availability of water at this point, he added.
