According to sources, the Chief Minister is likely to make an announcement about the allocation of funds for irrigation projects and construction of the Neradi barrage across the Vamsadhara river.
The government planned to supply water up to Itchapuram to improve drinking water and irrigation. The facility is expected to help the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients of the Uddanam region.
Senior irrigation officials were directed to come with the details about the proposals and the status of the Vamsadhara project. The officials are worried over the inordinate delay in Vamsadhara Phase II in which works taken up under 88 packages have been going at snail’s pace.
