Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu took a serious note of the visible delay in prestigious Polavaram project by the executing agency Transstroy India Ltd. State Water Resources Department officials reportedly issued show-cause notice to the owners of the company asking them to cite the reason for delay and giving detailed information on how they are planning to complete the project within the stipulated period of time.
GoAP is allegedly prepared to relief the primary executing agency from certain responsibilities, so that they can complete the target to supply water through gravity by 2018. The state government is apparently examining the possibility of handing over the tasks to a different organization and this time a well reputed firm.
A part of Spillway and concrete works, the major related tasks which are outstanding will reportedly be given another company through tenders. The State Water Resources Department has not only taken stringent measures in this regard but also reported to the Central Water Resources Department already. Upon getting approval from the centre, the tenders will be called and the project will be assigned to new company most probably in the first week of October.
