Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday held a review meeting in Hyderabad at Pragathi Bhavan regrind the construction of check dams, canals, and tanks.

Speaking at the meeting, KCR said that irrigation projects were being taken up, to find a permanent solution to harvest water resources across Telangana.

Asserting that construction of irrigation projects is an integral part of ensuring a better future of the state, he checked the reservoirs that are coming up as a part of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation scheme.

The Chief Minister said that the Upper Manair Dam won’t be dried up adding that the southern part of Karimnagar district would be always 'alive' with the existing works in progress.

He also reviewed works on the canals under Mallanna Sagar and wanted the water to flow to Singur on gravity adding that more land would come under cultivation under the gravity route.

KCR stated that open canal works are over from Mid Manair to Anantagiri and the remaining tunnel works will be completed soon.
