Title: Re: need to expedite execution of Srisailam Left Bank Canal in 
Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh.

Text:


DR.  B.N. REDDY (MIRYALGUDA): Execution of Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) in
Nalgonda District, Andhra Pradesh, proposed to use 30  tmc  of  Krishna  River
water to irrigate a few lakh acres in Nalgonda District of Andhra Pradesh, has
been  delayed  for  several  years, though a portion of canal is excavated and
left without any progress.

Incompletion of this project by the successive Governments  in  Andhra
Pradesh  led  to  people  filing  480  nominations  for Nalgonda Parliamentary
Constituency which delayed the polling by one month. The polling was  done  on
27.5.96 instead of 27.4.96.

Sir this  was  done  by  the  people  of  Meryalguda  and  Nalgonda
Parliamentary Constituency to bring the importance of the SLBC to  the  notice
of  the  Central  Government.  Hence, I request the Government to take up this
matter immediately and complete the project on war-footing.
