CPI district committee urged the government to complete the on-going irrigation projects in the most-neglected Kurnool district.
In a statement, CPI district secretary K. Ramanjaneyulu said the party has planned a series of agitations to press for early completion of projects. Mr. Ramanjaneyulu said Hundri-Neeva project was crucial for Kurnool, Anantapur and Chittoor districts.
The project would provide irrigation to 80,000 acres and drinking water to more than 100 villages in Kurnool, Kallur, Veldurthi, Kodurmur, Krishnagiri, Tuggali, Pathikonda, Devanakonda and Gonegandla mandals.
Also, the LLC and HLC canals were unable to deliver the water allocated to it due to pilferage. The two canals could be stabilised by constructing Vedavathi projects across Hugari. Irrigation could be provided to Aluru, Adoni, Yemmiganur and Kodumur areas.
The party has planned seminars on December 9 at Kurnool, December 21 at Kurnool and December 30 at Yemmiganur. The party has also planned to celebrate the centenary of veteran CPI leader Chandra Rajeswara Rao in a befitting manner in the district.
The CPI district Committee demanded a price of Rs.6,000 per quintal for groundnut and Rs.5,000 for castor to overcome the present crisis. The party demanded distribution of land to the poor at Sakunala, Kalugotla, Dhone, Rudrakshagutta, Kodumur, Nandyal, Banaganapalli and Kurnool.
