New Indian Express  

VIJAYAWADA: Minister for Water Resources Development Nimmala Ramanaidu said during the previous YSRC regime, the irrigation sector regressed by 20 years, and several projects, including Polavaram suffered serious damage. Participating in irrigation expert and Padma Bhushan recipient KL Rao’s 122nd birth anniversary celebrations in Vijayawada on Monday, he said under the previous regime, both irrigation and drinking water resources had suffered total neglect. Paying floral tributes to the legendary irrigation engineer at the KL Rao Ghat, the minister said 50 years ago, Rao advocated the interlinking of rivers to address drinking and irrigation issues. Eulogising the contribution of Rao to various projects, including gravity dams, arch dams, concrete dams, power stations, and multiple projects like Pulichintala, Ramanaidu said the services of the irrigation expert were not confined to the Telugu State, his brilliance was visible in various irrigation and hydroelectric projects across the country.
