Polavaram Authority Urges Material Stockpiles to Maintain Construction Pace
Polavaram is a large construction project that needs many materials.
A dry spell is underway, so the project authority’s chief asked workers to keep enough supplies ready.
He visited several work areas and asked teams to keep working steadily and carefully.
He said the dam work was progressing well and its quality was satisfactory.
He also said money was being released in stages and was not in short supply.
The central and state governments aim to finish the project by the end of March 2027.
Some planned work is to be completed before foreign experts visit later this month.
PPA CEO Sanjeev Vohra directed officials to stockpile soil, rock, sand, cement and other materials during the dry spell.
Vohra inspected works at Gap-1, Gap-2, G-Hill and G-Dash Hill.
He urged officials and contractors to maintain progress, meet the schedule and ensure construction quality.
Vohra said project funding was not short, with the Centre releasing funds in phases.
The Centre and Andhra Pradesh governments are committed to completing the project by the end of March 2027.
