Andhra CM Naidu ‘moots’ linking of rivers under PPP mode

New Indian Express  

VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who envisages interlinking rivers by taking Godavari water to Krishna and from there to Banakacherla to provide irrigation facilities to every acre of land in the State, seems to be mooting the idea of taking up irrigation projects under the Public-Private Partnership model on the lines of developing National Highways. I am considering taking forward the project on the lines of private players taking up the NH projects if possible,” Naidu said, while participating in a short discussion on irrigation projects in the AP Legislative Assembly on Tuesday. Naidu said private players are developing four, six and eight lane highway projects by investing Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh crore. Mentioning that the international experts suggested construction of a new diaphragm wall instead of repairing the damaged one, the Chief Minister said the works will be commenced in January 2025 and completed by March 2026.
