The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|July 30, 2025
IRRIGATION Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Tuesday opened the crest gates of the Nagarjunasagar Project, following substantial inflows from upstream due to persistent rainfall.
This was the first floodwater release in the month of July after 18 years.
The reservoir, located in Nalgonda district, reached near-full capacity, prompting the controlled release of water.
Ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy and Adluri Laxman Kumar, along with local MLAs and senior irrigation officials, participated in the ceremonial opening after offering prayers to the Krishna river. Gates 13 and 14 were lifted first, followed by eight more. In total, 14 gates were raised to a height of 5 feet, releasing 78,060 cusecs of water. An additional 68,000 cusecs were later discharged.
