The tunnel is a critical component of the 197-km Bargi Right Bank Main Canal and is designed to carry water without pumps. The project overcomes significant geological challenges and is part of the larger 17-year-old Bargi Diversion Project, which aims to irrigate about 2.45 lakh hectares across multiple districts. |
