The lack of water supplementation from KLIS is expected to have a devastating effect in over four lakh acres of Yasangi (Rabi) ayacut in the erstwhile Nalgonda, Khammam, and Warangal districts

The Irrigation department's top brass is deeply divided over the fate of the Medigadda barrage and the broader Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP). While a significant majority, barring a few exceptions, supports putting two of the three barrages back into operation, some senior officials believe that the Medigadda barrage's issues are being overemphasized.

Participating in a panel discussion at Tycon TiECon Kerala 2024 conference on Thursday, Rama Rao drew comparisons between India and global leaders like China and Taiwan in innovation and manufacturing.

Despite the decisive role the Godavari Board has been tasked with in managing the river's resources, it was not at all involved so far in the decision-making process.

Giving in to mounting pressure from farmers in its ayacut, pumping operations were resumed drawing water from the Yellampalli reservoir, instead of Medigadda to feed multiple reservoirs that are part of the KLIP network.

Operations were resumed on Saturday at the Nandi Medaram pump house to which water was released through the gravity canal from the Sripada Yellampalli reservoir.

The barrage, a crucial component of the Kaleshwaram project, with all its flood gates opened is able to discharge over 3.70 lakh cusecs of water without any signs of distress

Some officials have reportedly opted to appear virtually for the inquiry. The commission is focusing on various aspects, including the alleged financial irregularities and technical flaws in the project’s design, planning, and execution.

Patha Venkataramana, who led the team, told pressmen that building the barrage across Pranahita river was the only option left following sinking of the piers of the Medigadda barrage, a part of KLIP.

The government was keen in conducting the studies only by engaging the competent organizations of the Central government.

The CWPRS was engaged by the State government along with two other Central agencies for further investigations.

The Southwest monsoon has also advanced up to South Bay of Bengal. If the inflows into the KLIP barrages are heavy, there will be no scope to carry any sort of works this year.

They maintained that the department could have completed that task also by now as suggested with minimum hydraulic force.

Justice Ghose is expected to visit the project and interact with the officials and official agencies involved in the implementation of the three barrages - Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla ahead of finalising the probe schedule.

Despite previous criticisms of the project's efficacy, he noted the sudden release of water to Karimnagar, indicating political maneuvering rather than genuine concern for farmers' welfare.

Known for its highest pumping and motor capacity in the world and its support of the largest surge pool facilities, just one of the seven pumps was switched on, resuming its operation around 4 pm on Sunday.

The team wanted the heads and representatives of various agencies involved in the implementation of the project to make themselves available in Delhi for further interaction and questioning.
