AP aims to complete Polavaram project a year earlier to deadline
The Free Press Journal|November 21, 2024
The Andhra Pradesh Government has showed intent to expedite the Polavaram project and complete it a year in advance in 2027 instead of 2028 said, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Officials were instructed to speed up the diaphragm wall and EarthcumRock Fill (ECRF) dam of the Polavaram multipurpose project. Babu described Polavaram and Amaravati as 'two eyes.

He said that his government had previously completed construction of Pattiseema project as Polavaram was getting delayed. "We had completed Pattiseema within one year and given water to Rayalaseema region. 32,000 cubic metres worth of concrete works were completed on a single day. Diaphragm wall of Polavaram had been completed in 414 days. 72% of the project had been completed in 2014-19 period.

The irrigation minister during the time of YSRCP government doesn't even know what diaphragm wall means. He doesn't even know the difference between TMC and cusec" he said in the assembly. He further accused the YSRCP government of stalling the construction purely out of hatred for TDP government.
