Hyderabad: The Congress has decided to highlight the alleged failure of the TRS government with regard to irrigation pr-ojects. As a first step, TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy along with party MPs, legislators and senior leaders will visit the river Pranahita at Tummidi Hatti in Komaram Bheem district on Monday.

After the TRS came to power in 2014, the Tummidi Hatti project was set aside in the name of redesign and the barrage was built at Medigadda for the Kaleswaram project.
From August 27, former MP Konda Vishwe-shwar Reddy, former ministers Prasad Kum-ar, A. Chandrasekhar, and others will go on a four-day 88-km padayatra from Shan-karpally to Shadnagar to protest the cancellation of the Pranahita-Chevella project
Mr Rammohan Reddy said the Congress government had sanctioned Rs 11 crore for the survey of the Palamu-ru–Ranga Reddy project.
