The newly installed 33 spillway gates at Tungabhadra Dam were inaugurated by the CMs of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.
The massive infrastructure project was completed at an approximate cost of Rs 51 crore to replace outdated gate systems.
New crest gates have been designed with modern engineering to remain fully operational for the next 55 to 60 years.
The initiative aims to safeguard the agricultural interests and livelihoods of farmers across the tri-state command area.
