CM Jagan releases Krishna waters for 4 lakh residents, 6,300 acres of ayacut in Kuppam

Kuppam: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy inaugurated the Kuppam Branch Canal and released Krishna waters to over four lakh residents in Kuppam and Palamaneru constituencies on Monday.

The water is sourced from the newly constructed Kuppam Branch Canal, a monumental project completed for Rs 560.29 crores under the AVR HNSS (Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi) Project Phase-2 in Rama Kuppam Mandal, Chittoor District.

110 irrigation tanks for 6,300 acres

This ensures irrigation water to 6,300 acres of ayacut through 110 minor irrigation tanks in the Kuppam constituency. This development fulfils the long-standing desire of the people of Kuppam for access to drinking and irrigation water, marking a new era of prosperity and growth for the region.

Exposing the failures of Chandrababu’s regime, CM Jagan delivered a resounding message. He said, “For 35 years, Chandrababu Naidu represented Kuppam and held the CM office for 14 years. Shockingly, in all this time, he couldn’t complete the Kuppam Branch Canal.”

CM Jagan further emphasised YSRCP’s impact on the Kuppam constituency, claiming that the government had allocated Rs 66 crores for various developmental projects in the Kuppam municipality, establishing a strong commitment to Kuppam’s growth and prosperity.
