- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Anantapur

CHIEF Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has announced that water through the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) project will be released by July 10, and ₹3,873 crore is being spent for 554 km-long canal widening, and lining works under Phase-1 and 2.

He inspected the HNSS works at the ground-level at Chayapuram of Uravakonda in Anantapur district on Friday.

Later taking part in the Praja Vedika, Naidu regretted that the project works came to a standstill due to the negligent attitude adopted by the previous government, and said the works are moving at a fast pace after the TDP-led NDA came to power.

He felt that once the Polavaram-Banakacherla is complete, the entire Rayalaseema region will completely come out of the drought and every acre in the State will get irrigation water.
