KCR is discussing on re-designing |
An effort for redesigning
Dr B.R Ambedkar Pranahitha- Chevella Sujala Sravanti Lift irrigation project by
the state government has created tension not only among the people of Adilabad
district but also in the state.
The efforts for
redesigning the Pranahitha- Chevella poses new challenges regarding sharing of
river water within the districts in the state like between the two states.
It also creates many
doubts on their due share of the water in the project and basis for giving
priority to give water to various districts.
The issue of the
re-designing of various irrigation projects proposed during the Congress
government came to light with the news that state government was planning to
shift the project of Pranahitha- Chevella site to Kaleshwaram in Karimnagar
from the existing Thummidihatti in Kuatala mandal of Adilabad.
The proposal for
dividing the Pranahitha- Chevella irrigation and constructing at two places in
Adilabad and Karimnagar gave enough ammunition to the opposition parties to
fight against the state government.
Now, all the major
political parties joined the bandwagon against shifting the site or dividing
the Panahitha – Chevella project.
All the major political
parties Congress, CPI, BJP, CPI (ML-New Democracy), CPM have launched agitation
against state government’s decision to construct same project at two places or
shifting the project site. The issue is snowballing into major controversy.
The state government
arguing that the construction of Pranahitha- Chevella with the present design
was not viable.
Chief Minister
K.Chandrasekhar Rao made it clear during his recent visit to Adilabad that the
redesigning of the Pranahitha- Chevella will give water to more acres of lands
than the earlier proposed ayacut under the old design of the project.
Leaders of various
political parties alleged that Chief Minister was making efforts to take major
share of water to his own Medak district from the Pranahitha- Chevalla with
redesigning the project with no priority to the needs of people of the Adilabad.
