A. Vasanth Kumar, KPCC Secretary, has suspected corruption in the modernization and repair works of Narayanpur Right Branch Canal (NRBC) and urged the State Government to take action against those responsible for rampant corruption.
He was addressing a press conference in Raichur on Sunday.
Mr. Kumar said that repair and renovation work which took place in the main canal between zero km to 95 km is of poor quality. The tender for the works at the cost of ₹2,596 crore with three different packages was floated in 2019. But, the rules were not followed and norms were violated while floating tenders. Therefore, the Estimates Committee visited the spot to inspect works recently after Lingsugur MLA D.S. Huligeri had raised these issues in the sessions.
