However, he alleged that the Telangana Government was planning to utilise only 70 TMC of water.
Speaking to media persons here on Friday, Chinna Reddy said that Palamuru project could irrigate about 10 lakh acres. However, the faulty design of design could badly hurt the interest of Ranga Reddy district. Further, he alleged that only 50% of water was being utilised from Dindi project.
