: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao Friday thanked the Centre for giving forest clearance to the Palamuru Ranga Reddy irrigation project in the state.
"The Central Ministry of Environment has given the final forest clearance permission for the Palamuru Ranga Reddy irrigation project.
This clearance will pave way for a further step in the progress of the project," a release from Raos office said.
