Hyderabad: The YSR Congress Party President Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the Palamuru-Rangareddy lift irrigation scheme project was being constructed without proper approvals. He wrote a letter to Union Minister for Water Resources and requested her to interfere in this matter. He expressed anguish that by constructing this project the water resources for cultivation in Rayalaseema, Nellore, Prakasam Districts would get effected.

He said that as per the State Separation Act the River water must take prior approvals from CWC for any new project taken up in the two states. He mentioned that there are no specific allotments to Palamuru Project. The Telangana Government has already laid a foundation stone for Palamuru Project. The Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar will also get effected by constructing Palamuru Project. He insisted Uma Bharti to intervene in this matter by all means.
