After a marathon 10-hour argument in the Assembly on Sunday, the Telangana federal government chose to purchase a CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) probe into the supposed abnormalities and corruption in the style and building of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project.
Concluding the conversation at around 1.30 am early Monday, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy revealed that the case should have a CBI probe, provided the Justice PC Ghose Commission mentioned abnormalities at numerous layers, consisting of abnormalities in task approvals, abuse of public funds and corruption in the building and construction of Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages in the task.
A couple of pillars of the Medigadda barrage, an important part in the multi-level lift watering chain of tanks, collapsed in October 2023, simply a couple of weeks before the December 2024 Assembly surveys, setting off a political row. After presuming power, the Congress federal government purchased a query by Justice PC Ghose to examine accusations of abnormalities and embezzlement.
The National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) report mentioned that the Medigadda barrage was harmed due to shortages in preparation, style, and quality assurance. The NDSA has actually determined that the flaws in the building and construction originated from bad quality and upkeep.
“The NDSA and the Commission reports have actually made it clear that a much deeper and more extensive examination is needed on all these concerns,” the Chief Minister stated.
Inter-state entities, numerous departments and companies of the Central and State federal governments are associated with this task. Given That Central Public Sector Undertakings, such as WAPCOS, and banks, like PFC and REC, are associated with the style, building and construction, and funding of the job, the federal government has actually chosen to turn over this case to the CBI.
Throughout the dispute, Revanth Reddy stated that the Kaleshwaram Corporation was developed for the building of the Kaleshwaram task and had actually obtained 85,449 crores. The previous BRS federal government obtained 27,738 crores at 11.5 percent interest from Power Finance Corporation.
Furthermore, the job still needed 47,000 crore to finish the staying works.
He declared that the BRS rulers scammed public cash through the Kaleshwaram task.
