Rehabilitation work on the Kaleshwaram barrage is set to begin in mid-November, according to state authorities, marking the next phase of restoration efforts for the critical hydraulic structure. The timeline comes after a technical panel from the Central Water Commission is expected to examine the designs submitted for the project on October 5.
The comprehensive rehabilitation programme aims to restore the barrage structures to full operational capacity ahead of the upcoming monsoon season. Officials have indicated that all preparatory measures will be completed to facilitate the commencement of work during the specified period.
The Kaleshwaram barrage forms a crucial component of Telangana's water management infrastructure, serving both irrigation and drinking water supply functions across the state. The rehabilitation initiative underscores efforts to maintain the structural integrity and efficiency of major hydraulic projects in the region.
Once the CWC panel approves the technical designs, the state authorities will proceed with mobilizing resources and coordinating the implementation of the rehabilitation scheme. The project is expected to be completed well before the arrival of monsoon rains, ensuring the barrage remains operational throughout the season.
