Telangana govt to submit KLIP report to Ghose panel; clears infra projects, marks Rs 9,000 crore Rythu Bharosa rollout
HYDERABAD: The Telangana cabinet, chaired by chief minister A Revanth Reddy, on Monday decided to submit a comprehensive report to the Justice PC Ghose Commission probing the lapses in the execution of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS). The submission will include whether the project received formal cabinet approval during the previous BRS regime, the rationale for constituting a cabinet sub-committee, and the extent to which its recommendations were implemented. In other important decisions taken at the meeting, the cabinet approved the 201-km southern corridor of the Regional Ring Road, extending from Choutuppal to Sangareddy and an IIIT for Mahbubnagar. Telangana Thalli statues will be installed in every district collectorate before Dec 9. Briefing the media after the meeting at the state secretariat, revenue and housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, along with ministers Vakiti Srihari and Ponnam Prabhakar, said the govt would submit all requested information on KLIS by June 30. "This includes details on what then engineers-many now retired-recommended, and the basis on which the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages were taken up," Srinivas Reddy said. The cabinet also took a strong stand on the Banakacherla project, vowing to resist it at all costs to safeguard Telangana's share of river waters. Srinivas Reddy alleged that a 'vicious campaign' was being run to blame the Congress govt for the project, even though the foundation stone was laid during the previous BRS govt's tenure. "To set the record straight, the govt will soon give a detailed power-point presentation to all elected representatives," he said. Chief minister A Revanth Reddy, along with deputy chief minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and other ministers, will address farmers at the Rythu Bharosa Vijayotsavam Sabha on Tuesday near the Rajiv Gandhi statue, opposite the Telangana Secretariat.

All set for Rythu Bharosa Vijayotsavam meet today
Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said that the Congress-led people's government in Telangana "in a mere nine days, has provided Rs 9,000 crore under Rythu Bharosa (Farmers' Financial Assurance Scheme) to the farmers." He stated that the assurances to farmers have been fully implemented in a short time, which is unprecedented in the state's history. Participating in a meeting in Gandhi Bhavan here on Monday, he announced that the implementation of Rythu Bharosa started on June 14 and would be completed on June 24 (today). 'Following the completion of the implementation of the scheme, we, including Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, will interact with members of farmers' forums at the Rajiv Gandhi statue opposite the Secretariat on Tuesday,' he said. 'Earlier, ahead of the agriculture season, farmers were provided Rs 10,000 per acre. However, we added Rs 2,000 and gave Rs 12,000. In the past, there were limitations of only 5 to 10 acres. Our government is providing financial assistance under the scheme to all cultivable lands," he said. Meanwhile, Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao and Chief Secretary Ramakrishna Rao reviewed arrangements for the Rythu Bharosa Vijayotsavam Sabha scheduled for Tuesday with senior officials from all related departments. Nageswara Rao highlighted that the government is committed to supporting farmers with the main objective to improve the status of Telangana's farmers. The celebrations will be facilitated through the Rythu Nestham platform. Beneficiaries of Rythu Bharosa from all districts are expected to attend the event. He said the state government provided Rs. 21,000 crore in loan waivers to 2.5 million farmers.
