Injustice meted out to them, say project oustees
Finally, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s dream came true. Godavari water was lifted from Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) to Mallannasagar, one of the biggest reservoirs in Telangana. In the wee hours of Sunday, as pumps were being tested by engineer-in-chief Hari Ram and others, water gushed out of the vents. Out of the eight motors, three pumps were tested and would run for about 24 hours to ascertain that there were no technical snags. Each motor will pump 0.1 tmc ft water if it is run for a day and it was stated that by Monday morning, 0.3 tmc ft water would flow into the reservoir. “The CM’s programme will be finalised in the next one week or 10 days. Meanwhile, we will test all the pumps,” said an irrigation official on condition of anonymity.More Related News
