Mass death of fish: Fishermen demand steps to protect Chitkul lake

Dead fish found floating in the water body at Chitkul village of Sangareddy district on Thursday

Sangareddy: Fishermen of Chitkul village have demanded that the government to divert industrial effluents flowing into the Pedda Cheruvu located in the village.

The demand comes in the wake of a large number of fish being found dead in the lake on Wednesday, leaving about 100 fishermen’s families in shock. Local fishermen had claimed on Wednesday that nearly 10 tonnes of fish died. While the Fisheries department had released 1.2 lakh fishlings into the water body last year, the fishermen had also released fishlings worth Rs.12 lakh by spending from their pocket during the last rainy season.

However, officials of the Pollution Control Board (PCB) and Fisheries Department could not find out yet what led to the lower Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels in the water. The fishermen alleged that the dead fish started floating on Monday, a day after the area witnessed a good amount of rain. Speaking to Telangana Today, Fishermen’s Society president Gyarala Srinivas alleged that some industries might have dumped industrial waste or effluents into the water body. A stream is seen flowing into the Chitkul Pedda Cheruvu from Pashamylaram and Isnapur industrial areas. Showing evidence, the fishermen said there were many industries alongside the stream. However, PCB officials said they had found no evidence of industrial pollution in the water after initial examinations.

Another fisherman, Manne Simhadri, demanded that the government divert the stream straight into Nakkavagu located downstream of Pedda Cheruvu, so that the water could be kept clean. Kattameedhi Mallesh, a 60-year-old member of society, said he had never witnessed such an incident in his lifetime. Asking the officials to find out the exact reason, Mallesh urged the government to extend compensation to the Society. Saying that they were preparing to carry out fishing in a week, the society members said the incident had dashed their hopes of getting good profits this year.

Sitarama Project trial run: BRS cadres hail KCR’s vision

Trial run of SRLIP’s BG Kothur pump house in Aswapuram mandal in Kothagudem district conducted on Thursday.

Khammam: The BRS cadres and leaders in erstwhile Khammam district have celebrated the trial run of Sitarama Lift Irrigation Project (SRLIP) first pump house at BG Kothur mandal of Aswapuram mandal in the district on Thursday.

The project was envisioned and launched by the former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in February, 2016 to ensure irrigation facilities for farmers in Khammam, Kothagudem and parts of Mahabubabad districts.

With the success of the trial run of the SRLIP phase-one pump house the BRS cadres have launched a campaign on social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook and others hailing Chandrashekhar Rao’s visionary decision to construct the project. Sharing the project details the cadres explained that the SRLIP was a dream project for the former Chief Minister, who wanted to turn the arid agricultural lands under the project area into fertile lands. The posts consisted of visuals of Chandrashekhar Rao’s earlier references to the project importance and the Thursday’s trial run.

Speaking to Telangana Today senior BRS leader Gundala Krishna noted that even though river Godavari flowed through erstwhile Khammam district since ages, no government in the past cared to utilise the river water to feed the crops in the district.

It was Chandrashekhar Rao who envisaged effective utilisation of the Godavari waters and opened a new chapter in tapping the river waters optimally with the SRLIP. The pump house trial run was the first step towards making the lands in the district fertile and to boost agricultural potential of the district, Krishna added.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao also shared his pleasure over the success of the trial run and posted a message on X saying “Another dream fulfilled. It was the day on which Chandrashekhar Rao’s resolve to irrigate 10 acres in three districts reached fruition…”
