Sri Rama Sagar Stage-II Project
Sri Rama Sagar Stage-II Major Irrigation Project, which benefits Warangal, Khammam and Nalgonda districts in Telangana, was started in 1995 but has not yet been completed. The Project was originally scheduled to be completed by March, 2009. Now the project is targeted for completion in March, 2016. As reported by the State Government, the delay is largely due to land acquisition problems and court cases.
The investment clearance was accorded to this project by Planning Commission for Rs. 1043.14 crore during March, 2006. The State has not sent any revised estimate/proposal for this project.
This information was given by Union Minister of State for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Prof. Sanwar Lal Jat in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
