- A senior BJP leader, Earle Sree Rama Murthy, has urged the Andhra Pradesh government to speed up completion of the Babu Jagjivan Ram Uttarandhra Sujala Sravanthi irrigation project, ideally by 2029.
- He said the project would bring Godavari water to farmers in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts, who have suffered from climate change effects such as El Niño this year.
- According to him, four lakh acres in these districts would receive assured water if the canals are built on priority.
- He also asked the state to allocate more funds, noting the project is not part of the Centre-funded Polavaram project.
What to watch next
- Whether the state government responds with fund allocation for the project, which it must finance itself
