Jagan Reddy, Devendra Fadnavis At KCR's Mega Irrigation Project Launch

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today inaugurated the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, termed the "world's largest multi-stage, multipurpose irrigation project". Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Reddy and his Maharashtra counterpart Devendra Fadnavis were among the VIP guests at the grand event. The project, built on the Godavari river, will lift the water to a height of half-a-kilometer and is expected to supply water to 70 per cent of districts in Telangana for agriculture, drinking water and industrial purposes.

The Kaleshwaram irrigation project was inaugurated with the three Chief Ministers and Telangana Governor ESL Narasimhan participating in a series of programs at the project site in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district, near the borders with Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.

This is the event for which the Telangana Chief Minister reportedly missed the NITI Aayog meeting on Saturday as well as the all-party meeting to discuss "one nation, one poll", both of which were chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
