TS on right track of development, says KCR launching 2 irrigation projects

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao laid the foundation stone for the Sangameshwara and Basaweshwara lift irrigation projects to be constructed over the Singhu dam in the Sangareddy district.

The two uplift schemes, being constructed at a cost of Rs. 4,427 crore, will irrigate 3.84 lakh acres in Andol, Narayankhed, Sangareddy, and Zaheerabad constituencies of Sangareddy district.

KCR said Telangana has come a long way since its creation. He said Telangana surpassed its sister state Andhra Pradesh in terms of development and is making new strides at the national level. Telangana is on the right track of development. But after 75 years of Independence, the country has not progressed as it should have. "Hence, we must also strive for the development of this country so that the state makes better progress," he said.

The Chief Minister said divisive and communal politics were being promoted in the country which should not be allowed under any circumstances. Instead, he suggested that the focus should be on development and employment to facilitate the establishment of industries and the creation of employment opportunities for the youth.
