Briefing reporters after the meeting, Uttam Kumar Reddy said the delegation urged the prime minister to expedite environmental clearances for the Palamuru-Rangareddy, Sitarama Sagar and Dindi projects.
The delegation also sought Modi's intervention in securing the Maharashtra government's consent to raise the water level of the project at Tummidihatti from 148 metres to 152 metres. It also requested an early no-objection certificate (NOC) from Chhattisgarh for the Sammakka-Sarakka barrage.

According to Uttam Kumar Reddy, the state has sought Rs 5,856 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana for four irrigation projects, besides an additional Rs 5,000 crore to complete the remaining works on projects that are 70 to 90 per cent complete.
The delegation also sought special central assistance of Rs 5,000 crore for groundwater conservation, he said.
The minister further said that drawing water from the Medigadda barrage was currently not feasible, a position confirmed by experts.
He also appealed to farmers not to cultivate paddy during the ongoing rabi season.UNI RVS AAB
