Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on June 6 (Tuesday) alleged that gaps, which had been left incomplete in the upper cofferdam during the previous government, were to be blamed for damage to the other key structures of the Polavaram irrigation project across the Godavari in Andhra Pradesh.
Addressing the irrigation engineers and other stakeholders during a review meeting at the project site, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “Many gaps have been left incomplete in the upper cofferdam during the previous government. It is causing damage to other key structures of the project, as the Godavari floodwater flows down through the gaps.”
“It all began with the damage to the diaphragm wall, and slowly started affecting the other facilities and structures,’ Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
