Water is released from the Prakasam barrage to support irrigation in the Krishna Delta region, officials say. The District Collector states the move is aimed at enabling timely agricultural operations for farmers during the ongoing season. The initiative is described as a continuation of the Eruvaka Pournami programme held recently. According to the collector, the release will benefit nearly 30 lakh farmers cultivating about 13.08 lakh acres under the Krishna Delta ayacut. The water is intended to help farmers proceed on schedule with field activities that depend on irrigation availability. The reports align on the key figures for both the farming population and the cultivated area covered by the ayacut, and they present the release as part of planned water management rather than an emergency measure. No additional details on the duration of the release or distribution schedule are provided in the two accounts.
