In response, the irrigation department listed all dams notified under the Dam Safety Act 2021. The Centre reminded the state that the first CDSE for each dam must be finished within five years of the Act’s implementation. Telangana’s deadline is December 2026. Taking the matter seriously, the Chief Minister held a review meeting with top irrigation officials.

He directed officials to prepare detailed status reports for all major and minor dams. Based on these reports, the government will hold another review meeting in the second week of November to finalize further action plans.

Union Minister Patil also named key projects under the Act, including Medigadda, Mid Manair, Lakshmi Sagar, Ramappa Lake, Dindi, and Gandipalem. The government will give special attention to dams such as Himayatsagar, Usmansagar, and Manjeera for close monitoring.

The Minister asked officials to stay alert as reservoirs and lakes continue to receive heavy inflows. He urged them to act in advance, protect projects and structures, and avoid any damage. He also reminded engineers to monitor tank filling carefully and release water on time to support agriculture.
