Andhra Annamayya project reconstruction remains in limbo

New Indian Express  

KADAPA: Despite three years since the breach of Annamayya project due to unprecedented floods triggered by Cyclone Jawad, reconstruction efforts remains in limbo. The breach occurred on November 19, 2021, when heavy rains upstream caused the Cheyyeru River to swell beyond capacity, leading to the failure of a ring bund. The sudden inflow of over 5 lakh cusecs of water devastated nearby villages, claiming 39 lives and causing widespread property damage. In March 2023, tenders worth Rs 787 crore were floated for the reconstruction, with Hyderabad based Raghava Constructions securing the contract for Rs 660.23 crore.
