The YSR Congress Party government will not seek votes of the people before finding a permanent solution to the problem of recurrent floods in river Penna, Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu said.
Laying the foundation stone here on Wednesday for a ₹75 crore concrete protection wall to prevent flood water entering some colonies located on the river bank in the city, he said the project would be completed on a war footing.
The Minister in-charge of SPSR Nellore district, who also reviewed the progress of the ongoing Sangam and Penna barrrages, said that both the projects were going on at a brisk pace. They would be completed in about a month’s time and dedicated to the farmers of the Penna delta by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
