VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed officials to adhere to the schedule of completing Polavaram Irrigation Project by end of 2021. He wishes to ensure that the project’s water is supplied before farmers start cultivating crops during the 2022 Kharif season.
After inspecting spillway works on the project, the CM reiterated his statement in State Legislative Assembly that height of the Polavaram Dam will not be reduced even by a millimetre. His assurance came after “mis-information campaign” that the project’s full reservoir level will be reduced from 55 metres to 45.72 metres.
