The upper reaches of the Medigadda barrage, which is part of the Kaleshwaram project, has huge reserves of sand. A large amount of sand accumulated after the water in the reservoir was drained. Officials are expecting to earn over Rs. 800 crore from the sale of the sand from the barrage. It is estimated that about 10 lakh tonnes of sand was available in the blocks being auctioned.
