Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao on Sunday expressed confidence that the State Government would complete the tender process for the Mission Kakatiya project within a week.
Addressing a review meeting with the officials of the irrigation department at the Nalgonda District Collectorate, Rao said that the State Government wanted to take up the Mission Kakatiya works on a war footing.
Stating that funds would not be a constraint, he directed the officials to give top priority to the completion of the works related to the restoration of tanks and lakes.
Harish Rao said that the restoration of tanks in Nalgonda would automatically increase the inflows into the Nagarjuna Sagar dam besides increasing the ground water levels in the surrounding areas.
He also said that the project would also led to the revival of wells and borewells which had turned dry.
The minister expressed hoped that the Mission Kakatiya project would lead to the complete restoration of the lakes and tanks across Telangana to their original status. (INN)
