Hyderabad: BRS party working President Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao today announced that their party would hold ‘Chalo Medigadda’ programme on March 1. He said the programme would be held with 150 to 200 BRS party representatives.

Through this programme, we will show the comprehensive nature of the Kaleshwaram project to the people of Telangana as well as to those who are making allegations.”

KTR said he was going to Medigadda to tell people the truth. “What is Kaleswaram will be shown alive. We will visit the Kaleswaram project in a comprehensive manner and in a phased manner. In addition, we are going to Medigadda to show live to some people, who are speaking knowingly and unknowingly.

Kaleswaram is not Medigadda barrage alone, but three barrages. Kaleshwaram means 15 reservoirs, 21 pump houses, 203 km of tunnels and 1531 km of flow canals. Kaleshwaram has a storage capacity of 141 TMCs. 240 TMC of the usage of water. Kaleshwaram project is a comprehensive combination of all these,” he added.

KTR said the Rs 3,000-crore Mediigadda barrage has 84 pillars in it and added that if the three pillars meet with an accident, an attempt was made to portray that the entire barrage had been washed away. He said Kaleshwaram was a massive programme to take the Godavari River upwards from a height of 88 meter to a height of 618 meter above sea level.

“Those who are familiar with Telangana topography will know. Telangana is almost like a hut. If there is higher Plato in the middle, Krishna flows on one side and Godavari on one side. On top of 535 meters is a city like Hyderabad. Kondapochamma Sagar area is 618 meters high,” he said, adding that many cases had been filed to stop this project. (NSS)
