CM Chandrababu assigns lift schemes to Jalaharati Corporation

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has directed officials to oversee irrigation lift schemes through the Jalaharati Corporation and examine the feasibility of setting up a Water Regulatory Commission modelled on the Electricity Regulatory Commission.

Naidu issued the instructions at a review meeting on irrigation projects and lift schemes at the State Secretariat on Wednesday. Water Resources Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu and senior departmental officials attended.

The meeting discussed repairs and maintenance of lift irrigation schemes, as well as installing solar power plants on land owned by the Irrigation Department.

Naidu also directed officials to complete 36 projects within two and a half years, in line with the government’s target.
