Pothireddypadu regulator was originally created for drinking water to Chennai with 5 TMC. Gradually 5 projects were ‘piggy backed’ & augmented to canal. In the name of Chennai drinking water, Seemandhra wanted to take entire Srisailam water • Veligonda project is being constructed on war footing basis. This will drain 60 TMC of water from Srisailam. This project is not allotted (water share by tribunal) and do not have clearance till now. • Handrineeva Sujala Sravanthi, not allotted not cleared project is going on war footing • SLBC despite of all recommendations, clearances and permissions never started. • Manuguru thermal power station proposed to be in Telangana was lobbied to be shifted to Vijayawada, transporting coal from singareni. • Dummugudem Hydal power station remained a promise on paper. • Icchampalli power (975 MW) project never started. • If Mumbai is not a free-zone, Delhi is not a freezone, Kolkatta is not a freezone, Chennai is not a freezone, Pune is not a freezone … why should Hyderabad be a freezone? Andhras were even demanding entire Telangana should be freezone.
