Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], January 20 (ANI): Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Tuesday inspected Laxmi Barrage constructed at Medigadda and paid floral tributes to Godavari waters. The Telangana farming community has faced hardships for decades. We have resolved in the initial stages that once Telangana State is formed, farmers should get adequate water supply for two crops and that will be the result of getting Telangana State. We have planned a strategy of constructing a barrage at a point after river Godavari and Pranahita joins so that more water for more time can be pumped, said Rao said while recalling his experiences while constructing the project.
