Tasked with inquiring into the causes of the damage suffered by the Medigadda barrage, an expert team of the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) on Thursday conducted a thorough inspection of the barrage site at Ambatpally village in Telangana’s Jayashankar Bhupalpally district.
The team headed by former Chairman of the Central Water Commission (CWC) J Chandrasekhar Iyer drove straight from Hyderabad to the Medigadda barrage and conducted an in-depth inspection of the barrage site.
The bridge atop the barrage that connects Telangana’s Mahadevpur mandal with Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district remained shut since October 21, 2023.
