Polavaram Project Aims for 2027 Completion
The Polavaram Irrigation Project is a big dam being built in Andhra Pradesh.
The minister in charge, Nimmala Ramanaidu, visited the site and said they want to finish the project before a big festival called Godavari Pushkaralu in July 2027.
He is happy with how the work is going and thinks they can finish earlier than planned.
The project is already 88% done, and they aim to complete important parts like the diaphragm wall by February 2026.
This will help bring water from the Godavari River to more places.
The minister also mentioned that the previous government did not do much work on the project, but now it is moving faster.
Water resources minister Nimmala Ramanaidu directed officials to complete the Polavaram Irrigation Project before Godavari Pushkaralu in July 2027.
The project is currently 88% complete and aims to finish the diaphragm wall by February 2026.
The Left Main Canal work will be completed to ensure Godavari water reaches Anakapalli by 2026.
Ramanaidu expressed satisfaction with the progress and confidence in completing the project ahead of schedule.
