Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan inspects Polavaram project works

Eluru: Some minor problems in Polavaram project were being blown out of proportions by the media, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has observed.

Reviewing the progress of the dam at the project site at Polavaram on Tuesday, he said it was natural that some minor problems would crop up during construction of projects which had to be set right at every stage to move ahead.

The previous Telugu Desam Party government had left gaps in the upper cofferdam through which flood waters surged with high velocity resulting in heavy damage to the structures, he pointed out. The diaphragm wall, crucial to the earth cum rock fill dam, suffered heavy damage due to which the project was not only delayed but an additional Rs.2,000 crore had to be spent, he noted.
