Final accord on irrigation project with Maharashtra soon: CM KCR

The Governments of Telangana and Maharashtra will sign a final accord on irrigation projects in about ten days time to pave the way for taking up irrigation projects on the Godavari river. “This (the final accord) will help in realising the dream of the government to make the Telangana drought-free,” said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday.

Participating in the Ugadi celebrations at Ravindra Bharathi here on Friday, the Chief Minister said that the state has already achieved two of the three main objectives of the Telangana struggle. “The problem of funds has been resolved since the revenue earned is now being spent for the development.



The state has achieved 15 percent growth rate.

We are working towards a ‘Bangaru Telangana’ where no farmer will commit suicide. Mission Kakatiya and Mission Bhagiratha would help the government in achieving such goals,” he said.

Union Minister Bandaru Dattatraya, Deputy Chief Ministers Mahmood Ali and Kadiyam Srihari, Legislative Assembly Speaker Madhusudhana Chary, Legislative Council Chairman M Swamy Goud, cabinet ministers and senior officials also participated in the celebrations.
