YSRCP accuses govt. of neglecting Rayalaseema irrigation projects
Sake Sailajanath demands immediate release of water from the Srisailam reservoir to the projects across the drought-prone region
The YSRCP has accused the government of neglecting Rayalaseema irrigation projects, demanding immediate action from the authorities. Sake Sailajanath, a YSRCP leader, addressed the media at the party office, questioning why Rayalaseema projects are not being filled despite the Srisailam reservoir holding over 180 tmc ft of water.
He alleged that farmers are facing water shortages and crops are drying up while the government is advising against cultivation. The leader demanded the release of 40,000 cusecs of water through the Pothireddypadu Head Regulator and additional supplies through Malyala and Muchumarri to fill Handri-Neeva and other Rayalaseema projects.
