Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao today expressed pleasure at the Karnataka Government for keeping its promise of releasing 0.5 tmc waters to Mahabubnagar district for drinking water purpose. The Karnataka irrigation officials informed to Telangana irrigation top official Khagender Rao about the release of 0.5 tmc waters from Narayanpur to Mahabubnagar district. The officials also confirmed that the waters reached Priyadarshini Jurala project on Monday morning and the rest of 0.5 tmc will reach the same on Wednesday.
