Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy has demanded that the State government get the Centre’s Dam Safety Authority to probe into the “sinking” of the Medigadda barrage project pillars, under the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project, on Sunday.
Mr. Reddy, also the Telangana BJP president, told a press conference that the entire irrigation project was built with a lot of fanfare spending thousands of crores of taxpayers’ money but the latest “design flaw” post the recent sinking of Kannepallai and Annaram pump houses, has created a lot of doubts in the minds of the people.
“The government is not allowing anyone to go near the Medigadda project after reports of the “cave in” surfaced. Our MLA Eatala Rajender is already on the way to the site to check the damage but the government is yet to respond to the latest incident,” he said.
