Next June, farmers would get access to water from the Krishna-Marathwada Project, according to Fadnavis
By June 2024, the fields of Marathwada would get water from the Krishna Marathwada irrigation project, according to Devendra Fadnavis, the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra.
After reviewing the project’s progress in the Osmanabad area, he said.
The water from this project will reach the fields in June 2024, according to the authorities here. During my tenure as chief minister from 2014 to 2019, our administration removed all obstacles standing in the way of this project, according to Fadnavis.
The water became “stuck in Baramati,” he stated, in an apparent jab at NCP chairman Sharad Pawar, since the Maha Vikas Aghadi administration, which took office in 2019, did nothing about the amended administrative approval required for the project.
The government is preparing to build a canal to transport the extra water that floods Kolhapur and Sangli during periods of heavy rain to the Ujni dam, according to the deputy CM, and the idea has been submitted to the World Bank for finance.
