Polavaram-Banakacharla Project to Transform AP: Assn.

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: The Polavaram-Banakacharla Interconnection Project will significantly transform the drought-prone regions of Andhra Pradesh, said Venkata Gopala Krishna Rao, the state president of the Federation of Irrigation Users' Associations and vice chairman of the Nagarjunasagar Left Canal Project Committee. Rao noted that Andhra Pradesh's continued 66 per cent share in Krishna River waters, along with the state government's decision to set up the headquarters of the Krishna River Management Board in Amaravati, would support the release of full irrigation water to protect the wet crops in the 3rd zone of the Nagarjunasagar Left Canal. Rao also pointed out that the project would create irrigation facilities for 7.5 lakh acres and stabilize the existing 22 lakh acres under the Velugonda, Nagarjunasagar Right Canal, Kandaleru and Somasila projects. He reiterated the importance of effectively presenting the State's case before the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal to secure a 66 per cent share of Krishna River water and release the remaining waters from Telangana for the 3rd zone of the Nagarjunasagar Left Canal.
