Bandi Sanjay Demands Probe into Check Dam Failures

A union minister, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, wrote a letter to the Chief Minister of Telangana, A. Revanth Reddy, asking for a thorough investigation into the failures of check dams in the state.

He mentioned that many dams built during the previous government's time are collapsing because of poor construction and corruption.

One such dam, the Tanugula–Gumpula dam in Karimnagar, collapsed recently, and the minister blamed it on bad design and low-quality materials.

He also said that the same contractors who worked under the previous government are now working with the current government, and both are blaming each other to avoid taking responsibility.

The minister wants an independent agency to investigate all the dams and punish those responsible for the failures.
