Polavaram Capacity Reduction Opposed in LS

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: YSR Congress MP Midhun Reddy voiced strong opposition to the proposed reduction in the capacity of the Polavaram project, urging the government not to compromise its original design. However, budget proposals suggest reducing the capacity to 115 TMC, which would significantly limit its effectiveness, providing water to only 3.2 lakh acres. Midhun Reddy labelled this reduction as a grave injustice to farmers and the people of Andhra Pradesh, asserting that the YSRC and Telugu Desam MPs would unite to fight this decision. He further highlighted the lack of special status for Andhra Pradesh and the government's failure to honour its promises, including reduction in the capacity of the Polavaram project.
