The Water Resources Department (WRD) is contemplating constructing two more retaining walls in the city to protect the people living on the banks of the Krishna river from floods.
The WRD already began the construction of a 1.5-km-long retaining wall to protect Krishna Lanka and its neighbourhood. Now, it is planning to construct a retaining wall from Kanaka Durga Varadhi to Padmavati Ghat, and another from Prakasam Barrage to Bhavanipuram.
According to information, the retaining wall from Varadhi would cost Rs.129 crore and the other one Rs.6.23 crore.
