Critical 700 meters of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel works have been completed, as reported by andhrajyothy.com. This progress is considered a significant milestone in the project's construction.
The works gained momentum by overcoming a weak shear zone in the area where an accident occurred previously, andhrajyothy.com stated. This had been a major challenge for the engineers.
Uttam Kumar Reddy oversaw these works, according to andhrajyothy.com. Under his guidance, this critical phase was successfully completed.
Additional machinery, including a locomotive brought from Germany, was used to increase the pace of work, andhrajyothy.com reported. These machines helped in carrying out the work more efficiently.
Workers are striving to achieve the target of water supply by June 2028, andhrajyothy.com mentioned. Work is progressing rapidly to meet this goal.
This project plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water to several regions in Telangana. With this progress, the agricultural community in Telangana is likely to see an end to their irrigation problems.
