"Officials from the state government and the Ministry of Water Resources will sit together to discuss about the issue in another seven or eight days," the Water Resources Minister told reporters after the meeting.
Assuring the Chief Minister that her Ministry would be positive about the project, Bharti said Rao also discussed about a few other water resources projects. According to sources in the Ministry, the project is meant for transferring water from Pranahita river, a tributary of Godavari river to Chevella benefiting about 15 lakh hectares of farmlands in the newly-carved out state. Rao also discussed about assistance through Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme to the Devadulla Project, the sources said.
