The Pinaki Chandra Ghos Commission accused former main Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao as “directly and vicarious” responsible for inconsistencies and illegality in planning, construction, completion, operation and maintenance of Medigadda, Annaram, and ive.
“His involvement and instructions slightly … is the cause and result of inconsistencies and cause of an emergency for these three barilats,” the Commission said in its 665 -page report, which was explored on Monday by ministers. The Commission stated that it would be possible to categorically decide that there was an irregularity in the conceptualization of the Kaleshwaam project until the administrative approval on 1 March 2016 for the construction of three barriers and “this is not the decision of the government but individuals”.
“The then main minister (Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao) is pre -set and focused on the construction of fire in Medigadda according to his free choice and the authorities associated with decision -making facilitated them,” said the Minister of irrigation N. Uttam Kumar Reddy.
Through the Power Point presentation, the Minister explained the most important information about the brief report prepared by the Committee of Officials, which includes the Ministries of irrigation, Rights and General Administration, which was established to thoroughly explore the report of the Justice Ghos Commission. The Commission he said was established to explore, inconsistencies and gap, and take off in the planning, design and construction of Medigadd, Annaram and Retrong Barika.
“Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao has completed his mortgage inhabitants, borrowing high interest, low -possession funds from NO banking financial institutions such as Power Finance Corporation and Electrification Corporation,” he said. This was after the previous government spent 11,000 crore, 32% of the project for a project of around 38,000 GBP Crore on the PRANAHITA Chevella Sujala Sravanti project, which was re -equipped.
The Commission asked various aspects of Kaleshwaam directly from its conceptualization and found that several teddy bears were in planning, design, construction and operation and maintenance. Before completing her report, she considered the reports submitted by the National Authority for the Security of the Dam, the Controller and the General Auditor in India, Vigilance & Enforcement and other agencies.
“The decision to move the project from Tummidihatti to Medigadd is not a decision of the cabinet, but the decision of the individual. The decision to move the site does not seem honest and honest,” he said he added that the unavailability of water in Tummidihatti claims, as Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao claims.
He remembered how Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said in the assembly that a retirement engineer was created for the project. The report, which recommended the construction of the project on Medigadda and other places, however, the then Minister and Minister of irrigation T. Harish Rao and officials, including the then secretary of the irrigation of SK Joshi. In addition, the construction of Barrage in Medigadda did not receive the consent of the cabinet that was illegal. “It is the only individual decision of Mr. Rao and there was no formal decision of the government in this respect,” he said.
In addition, Mr. Rao ensured that the project work was started much before a formal detailed report on the project, which was equal to the violation of each instruction. The Report of the Court of Justice was marked by frequent references to revised estimates and escalating costs except the proposal of the project, where construction was allowed at permeable foundations. “There are several cases of building defects and insufficient quality controls, while Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao has directed to their risk of water seizure into their danger. The government also unjustifiably received a completion certificate,” he said, adding that he said that the chief minister was irrigated, Minister of Finance.
While the special purpose vehicle Kaleshwaam Irrigation Project Corporation Limited was together to release money by his will, executive agencies, L&T, AfCons, Navayuga “acting with the hand with project authorities. “They should be responsible for repairing defects at their own expense, which the commission recommended,” he said.
