Telangana Advances Scientific Tests for Kaleshwaram Barrages Repair, Awaiting Expert Approval
Telangana's Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy stated that scientific tests for repairing the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages of the Kaleshwaram project are nearing completion. Leading institutions like CWPRS, NGRI, and IIT Mumbai are involved in assessing structural and geological aspects to prepare safe rehabilitation designs.

A technical oversight committee will review the proposals before repairs begin.
