Gadwal: Alampur MLA Vijayudu visited several villages on Saturday to check the progress of the Nettempadu Lift Irrigation Project. He inspected the works on the 99th, 100th, and 106th distributor canals in Chagapuram, Shabad, Buddareddy Pally, and Senaga Pally.
During his visit, the MLA stressed the importance of providing irrigation water to farmers in time for the Kharif season. He directed irrigation officials to speed up the silt removal from the 106th distributor canal near Mallem Doddi village. He also instructed them to install shutters for sluices and construct the Tatikunta Link Canal to ensure water reaches the tail-end villages.
Vijayudu explained that completing these distributor canals would bring 35,000 acres of farmland under irrigation. This would significantly benefit farmers in the Ieeja, Itikyala, Vaddepally, and Manavapadu mandals, providing them with much-needed water for their crops.
