Another massive lift irrigation that is termed as biggest in the world is ready for launch in the Palamuru district. Chief Minister KCR will visit the district on September 16 to oversee the dry run being undertaken there. He would switch on the massive motors at the Narlapur intake well and formally launch the project. He would then offer special prayers at the river Krishna before addressing a public meeting scheduled there.
Sarpanches from all the villages and the general public who attend the occasion are asked to take some water from the project and conduct celebrations in their respective villages to mark the historic occasion on the next day September 17. Chief Minister Mr KCR gave a call to the people of the Palamuru and Rangareddy districts to conduct special prayers at all the temples with the waters from the river Krishna. He thanked all the officials involved in the stupendous task of completing the work on the project.
The state government crossed many hurdles and fought battles at various forums to seek clearances only to fulfil the aspirations of the people of the districts. With this, the western part of Telangana will witness rapid development in the days to come. The Palamuru totally lacked water for irrigation and people were forced to migrate and work as labour elsewhere leaving their landholdings. The district came to be known as famous for migration.
Now, the project helps solve the drinking and irrigation water needs of the people which is a historic moment in their lives. CM KCR interacting with the officials said true to his promise of bringing golden days to the Telangana, the project comes as a last step in that direction. It may be noted that way back in 2015 espousing the cause of separate Telangana, he told at a public meeting in the district, he said he would strive to complete the much-wanted project and bring glory to the people and place. He delivered it now.
Chief Minister Mr KCR himself is in a jubilant mood more than the people of that region as he could bring about a task that was thought impossible in the near future. The farmers and people of Palamuru district are eagerly waiting for the arrival of Mr KCR to accord a grand welcome and participate in celebrations with him.
