RAJANNA-SIRCILLA: In view of the Mid Manair Reservoir (MMR) receiving water from the Sripada Yellampalli Project, authorities have taken the initiative to release water from MMR to smaller projects in the area.
The Ananthagiri Project, which was constructed under the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) Package-10, is all set to receive water from the MMR. With a capacity of 3.5 tmcft, authorities have already started vacating oustees around the project area.
Secretary of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) Smitha Sabharawal, who visited the project site and inspected the pump house, directed authorities to expedite the removal of oustees from the village. The water from MMR is expected to be released into the project from the first week of December.
