Deletion of Puttakanuma reservoir from the scheme objected
Telugu Desam Party Rapthadu Constituency in-charge Paritala Sriram and former Minister Paritala Sunitha have vehemently opposed the deletion of the Puttakanuma reservoir from the original Upper Penna project and adding three other reservoirs in its place.
Ms. Sunitha questioned the rationale behind naming the 56-year-old Upper Penna Project after Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and took objection to the deletion of former Minister Paritala Ravindra’s name for the Jeedipalli to Upper Penna canal. “Did Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy work for the development of the Upper Penna Project constructed half a century ago?” she asked.
