Kaleshwaram Barrages Repair Designs Next
The Kaleshwaram project in Telangana is undergoing important repairs.
The government has almost finished checking the three big dams (Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla) to see what needs fixing.
Experts from places like IIT Bombay and other research centers are helping to make a plan for the repairs.
The government says they will only let the dams work again after the experts say it's safe.
They want to make sure the dams are strong and can be used by the summer of 2027.
The government is following all the rules and advice from experts to make sure everything is done correctly.
Comprehensive scientific investigations of the Kaleshwaram project barrages are nearing completion.
Designs for the rehabilitation of the barrages are being prepared to ensure their safe restoration.
Preliminary assessments suggest a diaphragm wall could be part of the rehabilitation strategy.
Final repair methodology will be determined after experts evaluate all investigation reports.
The government will implement the restoration program in accordance with recommendations from the NDSA, CWC, and a technical oversight committee.
