Water Released from Babli Project to Sriramsagar Project
In an important update, officials have released water from the Babli project in Maharashtra. This project is located upstream of the Sriramsagar Project, which is a key water source for northern Telangana districts.
Following the orders of the Supreme Court, a three-member committee supervised the release. The team included officials like CWC EE Venkateshwaralu, Nanded DE Prashanth, and Babli project assistant engineers Vinay, Ricky, and Sushanth. SRSP AE Ravi was also part of the team. They lifted the project gates and allowed water to flow into the downstream Godavari River.
Officials stated that the water release was done to meet drinking water needs. They confirmed that the gates would be closed once 0.6 TMCs of water had been released. The water is expected to reach the Sriramsagar Project by Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Basara MRO Pavan Chandra has advised people living near the Sriramsagar Project to stay alert as the water arrives.
