KOTHAPALLY (NIZAMABAD DT.), JAN. 8. The Minister for Minor Irrigation, A. Chandrasekhar, has said his department is planning to constitute a commission with experts from Irrigation, Forest and Revenue Departments to identify minor irrigation resources and make full use of them. Addressing a public meeting at Gattupodichina Vagu, 8 km from here on Friday he said the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, had accepted the proposal. The commission would advise the Government on how available minor irrigation resources could be effectively used. The department was allocated Rs. 600 crores in the current budget, which was an all-time record.
Budget hike sought
