The rains have badly hit the Mission Kakatiya works under the second phase. De-siltation works of very few tanks have been completed before rains struck the district.
The huge delay in submitting estimations, clearing tenders and getting administrative sanctions affected the mission Kakatiya works. Restoration works of some tanks began in May ending in the Adilabad.
Fishing activity is now taking place in the tanks that received rainwater where de-siltation works were hampered under Mission Kakatiya- II phase.
According to sources, as many as 468 tanks revival works have been sanctioned under the second phase and among them 467 were grounded. Revival works of only 13 tanks were completed so far and reaming were at different stages in the district.
Irrigation officials say works cannot be done now as tanks received rainwater and they will complete the works by December ending.
Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao, who reviewed the Mission Kakatiya works taken up under phase-I and II, has expressed displeasure over poor performance in completing works in the second phase and pending works of 23 tanks out of 558 taken under phase –I in the district.
He said works of bund and field channels and Thumu can be done even tanks received rainwater adding that 41 new tanks will come up with central government funding in the Adilabad.
As many as 1.36 lakh acre ayacut will come up including 60,000 acres of new ayacut and 76,000 acres ayacut stabilization under minor irrigation in the Adilabad district.
A mini- tank bund was sanctioned to Nirmal and to be developed with the estimated cost of Rs 20.
On the other hand, Gaddenna vagu project and Kumram Bheem project will also be developed as mini- tank bund while developing a tank in Marlavai village as mini- tank bund in Jainoor mandal.
Meanwhile, the irrigation department will make a documentary with the success of the tanks restoration works, increased storage capacity and ground water table under mission Kakatiya in the district.
