Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: Minister of water resources Nimmala Ramanaidu said the state government was committed to construct the Polavaram dam at a height of 45.72 metres and ruled out any chance to reduce it. In reply to queries raised by members Duvvarapu Rama Rao, B.

The minster explained the schedule to take up the project works by the TD-led NDA government by saying that works on new diaphragm wall would begin in January 2025 and to be completed by March 2026 will preparatory works on ECRF dam would also be taken up simultaneously along with the D-wall.
