Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari on Saturday assured villagers of Lingampally of considering their request for redesigning the proposed Malkapur reservoir; otherwise, he would do justice to those getting displaced.
About 100 villagers from Lingampally came to Hanamkonda to meet the Deputy Chief Minister. They contended that the proposed Malkapur reservoir would submerge their entire village and surrounding hamlets.
The reservoir was part of the Godavari Lift Irrigation scheme and was proposed by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao with 10 TMC capacity.
Recently, the Cabinet had cleared the proposal. The villagers said if the capacity of the reservoir was limited to 8 TMC, their village might not face submergence. Mr Srihari gave them a patient hearing and said he would interact with the engineers and see if their proposal was feasible.
One cannot help feeling sorry for these poor villagers. Kadiam Srihari has proved himself to be extremely incompetent by the way in which he handled the Eamcet examination and the subsequent leak-scam thereby causing untold agony to millions of students and their parents.
What will such a kind of person do for these villagers? More importantly, does he have any power at all considering that 99% of the Ministers in KCR‘s cabinet are mere dummies? But these villagers might not be knowing this.
