Polavaram works are finally back on track. After fixing the glitches following the alliance government coming to power, 6.11% works have been taken up in nine months.
During Jagan’s term, only 11.58% works were done in 5 years. It is an achievement of sorts to complete more than half the works within 9 months. In the main dam, 3.80% land procurement was done and 2.56% rehabilitation was done.

Glitches were fixed once the alliance government came to power, one after the other. A committee of foreign experts was constituted by union Jal Shakti and Jal Sangham. National and international experts visited the project.
They brainstormed and gave their suggestions. As a part of this, work on the new diaphragm wall got started in January 2025. As a part of it, a wall of 1396 meters has to be constructed. So far, 158.20 meters has been constructed. By increasing the machinery, the works need to be taken up at a quicker pace.
