Irrigation Minister Harish Rao on Friday hailed the Supreme Court dismissal of a PIL against Kaleswaram Project.

The petition was filed by Md Hayatuddin challenging the environmental clearances accorded to the Kaleshwaram Project.

The petitioner’s plea stated that the tunnel and pump house works of the project were carried out without environment clearance.

Claiming it a victory for farmers, justice and law, the Minister said that the Telangana government is striving to make the state 'green' and without suicides by farmers. 

Harish Rao criticised the Congress Party in Telangana for trying to obstruct the progress of works on all irrigation projects by filing petitions in National Green Tribunal (NGT), High Court and Supreme Court.

However, he added that the Supreme Court has now dashed the Congress party’s hopes to the ground.
