With an estimated cost of 1,500 crores, the construction work for the tunnel project has begun to meet the demand for water in the surrounding areas. However, the farmers are still not satisfied with the government's efforts. After the state formation, Minister KTR promised to provide water from the Godavari river through the Kaleshwaram project. The 9th package of the project aims to provide water to Singasamudram Cheruvu in Narma Mallegudem Mandal, near Godavari river, with the help of gravity. They have constructed underground tunnels for a distance of 12.3 km from Rampapagutta to Malkapet.

The construction work for three reservoirs in Malakpet has cost around 500 crores. Two electric motors with a capacity of 30 MW each have been installed to lift water from Sarjipool to fulfill the required 1100 cusecs of water. One motor has already started lifting 550 cusecs of water. They have also constructed six bunds covering a distance of 5 km, with each bund having a kilometer of length. In order to lift water from Sarjipool, they have established a separate 33/11 KV electrical substation with a capacity of 90 MW.

The successful trial run of the Malakpet Reservoir has brought hope among the people in the surrounding areas. The Minister, Ramanna, has assured that he will fulfill their aspirations. Upon completion of this project, around one lakh acres of land will receive water.

Hyderabad, June 15 (Namaste Telangana): The team of engineers from Chhattisgarh, who were amazed by the construction of the Kaleshwaram project, visited the state. They praised the completion of the project in such a short period of time. When the construction of the Sammakka-Saralamma barrage was completed, which involved diverting 83 meters of water from the Mulugu district, only 22 hectares of land in Kothur village in Chhattisgarh remained for cultivation. It was decided that engineers from two states would conduct a joint survey. As part of this, Haryan, SE Vijayabhaskar from CEE, Nagaria from Chhattisgarh, and SE KES Bhandari visited the site. Haryan explained the construction of the barrage to them.

The previous impact was mapped using Mylap as a basis. The officials of Chhattisgarh expressed satisfaction with the construction of the barrage according to the design that was decided upon earlier. They had previously decided not to interfere with the agricultural lands before the construction of the barrage. Later, they learned about the special features of the Kaleshwaram project from Haryan on their request. In order to visit the nearby projects, they showed interest and Haryan accompanied them to Lakshmi Barrage and Annaram Barrage. The engineers from Chhattisgarh expressed their astonishment after learning about the special features of the project.
