Why it matters
Mr. Jagadish Reddy reiterated demands for operational changes regarding the Kaleshwaram project. He called for switching on the motors of the Kannepally pumphouse to supply project water to the ayacut until Suryapet. This was to occur using available river water without closing the Medigadda Barrage gates.
