The Union government has, in principle, granted ₹2,000 crore to complete the construction of the damaged diaphragm wall of the Polavaram irrigation project across the Godavari in Andhra Pradesh.
The diaphragm wall was damaged as a portion it had been washed away in the Godavari floods.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on June 6 (Tuesday) inspected the ongoing works at the project site and enquired about the action plan to carry out various repair works, including that of the diaphragm wall.
