Chittoor District Advances Water Conservation and Tank Restoration Ahead of Monsoon

Chittoor District Collector Sumit Kumar has directed officials to prepare plans for over 3,100 irrigation tanks, focusing on restoring feeder canals and desilting to enhance water conservation and groundwater recharge ahead of the monsoon. Despite good rainfall last year, many tanks had low water capacity, prompting accelerated cleaning and development works. Officials also discussed pending development bills and welfare scheme implementation, with emphasis on transparency and support for rural communities.
