Galeru Nagari Sujala Sravanthi 2nd Phase works set to gain momentum

The Phase II works of the Galeru Nagari Sujala Sravanthi (GNSS) Project are expected to gain momentum, with officials submitting a revised proposal, including realignments, for administrative approval from Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, who also chairs the Andhra Pradesh Wildlife Board.

Once completed, the 5,013.62-crore project aims to provide irrigation to more than 2.6 lakh acres across YSR Kadapa, Tirupati and Nellore districts. It will also supply drinking water to around 5 lakh people in Tirumala and Tirupati.

Although the initial proposal was submitted during the previous YSRCP regime, officials alleged inaction by the then-chief minister stalled the project. The current administration, under Naidu's leadership, has now submitted its report to the Chief Minister's Office seeking clearance for the construction of the Sri Balaji and Mallemadugu reservoirs.
