The Hindu
Reasons for halt in production not clear
Power production was stopped at the Dr. K. L. Rao Sagar Pulichintala Project on Monday, 12 days after the exercise first began on June 29 and soon became one of the central points of water stress between the two Telugu States. Reasons for the halt in production, whether for decline in inflows from upstream Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar Projects or as a policy instruction, were not clear. According to a senior project official, power generation through one unit continued till Monday night and was stopped with instructions from the headquarters. The official, however, did not disclose figures on power produced during June 29 and July 12.More Related News
