Minister for Irrigation and Civil Supplies N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has instructed officials to complete the restoration of minor irrigation tanks across the State in a time-bound manner as the work can’t wait any longer.

Speaking at a meeting of irrigation officials here on Saturday, he said the summer de-siltation of tanks was a statewide priority. He wanted the officials to begin work immediately from village-level tanks to larger systems – without waiting for new guidelines.
