Making clear the intentions of the government to ‘expose’ the irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy held a meeting with Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and senior officials at his residence reviewing the latest developments across the irrigation sector.
The meeting comes a day after the Chief Minister announced in the Legislative Council that an investigation headed by a sitting High Court Judge would be ordered into the matter of the sinking of piers of Medigadda barrage and the leakage in the Annaram barrage. The CM also said the government would take all MLAs and MLCs for an examination of the Medigadda and Annaram barrages.
In the meeting on Sunday, the Chief Minister is said to have asked Engineer-in-Chief (ENC) of Telangana Irrigation and Command Area Development Department C Muralidhar to get the entire details on costs involved in the Kaleshwaram project. The refusal of L&T company to take up the repair works on the Medigadda barrage unless a new agreement is signed was discussed with the Chief Minister seeking details on how it was let go so easily from its responsibility.
