Telangana CM Directs Optimal Use of Godavari Water and Farmer Compensation
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed officials to maximize the use of Godavari river water by lifting water from the Yellampalli, Devadula, and Sitarama lift irrigation projects. Following National Dam Safety Authority guidelines, water storage is halted at Sundilla, Annaram, and Medigadda barrages due to identified defects. The government is also prioritizing prompt compensation and rehabilitation for farmers affected by land acquisition, with officials tasked to report on submergence-prone villages and pending payments.
