(a) & (b) Auranga Reservoir Scheme which consists of a
Level Crossing named “Amanat Barrage†on the river
Amanat was cleared by the Planning Commission in
September 1983 for a cost of Rs. 185.40 crore.
Subsequently in 1993 revised cost estimate of Rs.
247.61 Crore was accepted by the Advisory Committee of
Ministry of Water Resources subject to clearance from
Ministry of Environment & Forest and Ministry of Tribal
Affairs. The State Government has submitted the revised
proposal costing Rs. 914.24 crore for Auranga Reservoir
Scheme on river Amanat to Central Water Commission for
appraisal. The clearance of the Scheme depends on the
compliance of the State Government to the observations
of the Central Appraisal Agencies and subsequently the
completion of the Scheme will depend upon the priority
given to the Scheme by the State Government.
