While dismissing media reports that the Srisailam dam was in grave danger due to a pit at its bottom, Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu said on Thursday that there was indeed a gaping hole in the plunge pool area, but the entire dam was not precarious as it was made out to be.
The Dam Safety Review Panel (DSRP) noticed it long ago and remedial action was being taken on the basis of its recommendation, he said.
