Senior Congress leader Revanth Reddy announced that the three major barrages in Telangana will be restored by December, aiming to improve water management in the region.
Senior Congress figure Revanth Reddy has set a clear timetable for the rehabilitation of three key irrigation structures in Telangana. He stated that the Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla barrages will be fully restored by the end of December. The announcement was made during a press interaction, underscoring the urgency of reviving water infrastructure ahead of the upcoming monsoon season.
The three barrages, situated on the Godavari and its tributaries, have faced operational challenges in recent years, affecting water supply for agriculture and drinking purposes across several districts. By targeting a December completion, the government aims to mitigate water scarcity risks before the peak cropping period.
Revanth Reddy emphasized that the restoration effort will involve coordinated work by the state irrigation department, contractors, and local stakeholders. He urged swift action to ensure that the projects stay on schedule and deliver the expected benefits to farmers and communities dependent on the barrages.
While detailed project timelines were not disclosed, the December deadline signals a focused push by the opposition to hold the ruling administration accountable for water management. The move is likely to influence upcoming policy discussions on irrigation and rural development in the state.
