Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu on Wednesday said that the Andhra Pradesh government had not fixed any new deadline for commissioning the Polavaram irrigation project on the Godavari river.
“We admit that the execution of the project has been delayed due to damage done to the diaphragm wall on the project site in recent floods,” the Minister said while responding to a question posed by The Hindu at a media conference held at Sir Arthur Cotton barrage in East Godavari district.
The Minister released water from the Godavari river to the delta at Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage at Dowleswaram in East Godavari district on Wednesday.
