Rs 800 crore extra for polavaram project due to TD misdeeds: Ambati

Deccan Chronicle  

VIJAYAWADA: Minister for water resources, Ambati Rambabu pointed out Rs 800 crore extra has to be spent on the Polavaram multipurpose project due to pointless works taken up by the earlier Telugu Desam government resulting in cofferdam and diaphragm wall damages. Addressing a press meet at the YSRC central office on Friday, Rambabu slammed the Opposition and a section of media for false news on Polavaram project and said the state government is committed to complete the project. With regard to Rehabilitation and Resettlement works, minister Rambabu said the decision to complete R&R works in phases was taken by the Central Water Commission along with Polavaram Project Authority and the state government is implementing the recommendations. He said it is technically wrong to fill water at the full capacity of 45.72 metres and then start rehabilitation works in Polavaram project.
