Telangana CM to sign irrigation pact with Maha

Telangana and Maharashtra will sign an agreement for construction of irrigation projects.
A delegation led by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today reached Mumbai in this regard.
The delegation was accorded a warm welcome at the Raj Bhavan in Mumbai by Maharashtra Governor Vidyasagar Rao, who hosted lunch for the visitors, a release from Telangana CMO said here.
The agreement would be signed tomorrow, it said.
The Telangana Government said on March 2 that it has reached an understanding with Maharashtra for construction of five barrages on Godavari, Penganga and Pranahita rivers.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis invited Rao to Mumbai to sign a pact on construction of the projects.

The five proposed projects include Kaleswaram, a barrage at Rajapet on Penganga, another between Chankha- Kovata, a barrage at Penpahad and another one at Tammidihatti on Pranahita river in Adilabad district. A barrage would also be built at Medigadda in Karimnagar district, a release from Rao's office said last week.
