River Penganga is flowing high |
The proposed four irrigation barrages planned on
river Penganga and Pranahitha will not only improve the Agriculture ayacut in
the district but also prevent the seasonal floods take place especially in
Adilabad and Sirpur (T) Assembly constituencies in the district.
The flood affected mandals will get most benefit
with the four barrages. Recently, Maharashtra and Telangana governments had signed
on MOU on these barrages.
The Tamsi, Jainad and Bela mandals, were most flood
affected due to overflowing of river Penganga in Adilabad constituency while
Sirpur(T), Bejjur, Kautala were most affected in Sirpur(T) due to river
Pranahitha in Sirpur (T) Assembly
constituency in the Adilabad district.
During the floods, road connectivity gets affected
in these mandals and hundreds of houses and agriculture fields with standing
crops were inundated in the flood water causing much damage to crops and loss
to the farmers.
There were incidents where the team of national
disaster response teams swung into the action to save the lives of the people
in the flood affected areas in the recent years in district.
People of the these mandals are hopeful of these
proposed barrages will prevent the floods in the future and cheers to the
people of the same areas with water to irrigate their lands.
It is estimated that, Pranahitha- Chevella barrage
to be constructed on river Pranahitha will give water to nearly 2 lakh acres in
Sirpur(T), Asifabad and Bellamaplli Assembly constituencies while three other
barrages to be constructed on river Penganga will irrigate 25,000 acres in the
flood affected mandals in Adilabad Assembly constituency.
Alke Ashok of Anthergoan village in Tamsi mandal said that ‘Rajapet and Korata and Chanaka barrages will certainly prevent floods and irrigate their barren lands’.
