Telangana BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy has said that the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) expert committee’s report laid bare the apparent deficiencies in the construction of Medigadda (Laxmi) barrage of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP), raising serious concerns over the safety aspects and fate of the project.
A detailed investigation into the Medigadda episode is imperative to unravel the facts behind the sinking of the piers of the barrage of the much-touted KLIP, he said, while speaking to the media after visiting the Medigadda barrage at Ambatpally in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district on Saturday.
Rajya Sabha MP and BJP’s OBC Morcha national president K. Laxman, Telangana BJP election campaign committee chairman and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender, and Dubbak MLA M. Raghunandan Rao accompanied him.
