BRS leaders demand round-the-clock KLIP pump operations in Palamuru

Representatives of the BRS have intensified their push for extended operational hours of the Krishna Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) pumps in Palamuru, citing concerns over water availability in the region. The party leaders have urged state authorities to run the pumps on a 24-hour basis rather than the current limited schedule, arguing that round-the-clock operations would significantly improve water storage capacity in key reservoirs.

The demand reflects growing anxieties among farmers and residents in the Palamuru region regarding water security for agricultural needs. BRS officials contend that extended pump operations would help fill tanks more rapidly and ensure better distribution of irrigation resources across the area during critical growing seasons.

The Krishna Lift Irrigation Project serves as a critical water management infrastructure for the region, supplying water to multiple command areas. The BRS delegation has emphasized that maximizing pump efficiency through continuous operation would address seasonal water shortages and support the agricultural economy.

Government officials have not yet responded to the specific demand for 24-hour pump operations. The matter underscores ongoing discussions between regional political parties and state administration regarding optimal irrigation management strategies in drought-prone areas of South India.
