The proposed SRSP rejuvenation project is not feasible and will do a grave injustice to the farmers of Warangal district, said BJP former MLAs T. Rajeswar Rao, M. Dharma Rao and Vannala Sriramulu.
The river Godavari is just 110 km from Warangal city and the State Government proposes to bring water from beyond 400 km by the newly proposed SRSP rejuvenation project which is nothing but hoodwinking people, they alleged.
The Congress regime planned for Kanthanapalli Project which not only helps augmentation of Devadula, but also bring additional water to Warangal district for irrigation and drinking needs. However, the TRS Government shelved it and now came up with barrage at Tupakulagudem. “The Devadula and Kanthanapally Project will help irrigate 11 lakh acres. Why the Kanthanapally Project was given up?,” they sought to know.
The BJP leaders demanded that the State Government provide 50 tmcft of water with the proposed barrage in addition to the quantum supplied by Devadula Project.
