The New Indian Express Hubballi
|April 21, 2025
Can start work immediately if Union govt grants permission, says CM
KARNATAKA CHIEF Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the Central government to expedite major irrigation projects in the state that were stalled due to lack of permissions and highlighted the delay in the Mahadayi project.
At a divisional-level agricultural equipment distribution ceremony at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi on Sunday, Siddaramaiah emphasised the state's readiness to implement projects like Mahadayi, Mekedatu and the Krishna Upper River Project as soon as approvals are secured. He criticised the delay in receiving forest clearances for the Mahadayi project, stating that work could commence "tomorrow itself" if the Centre grants permission.
