Hyderabad: Central Design Organisation (CDO) ne Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project ke Medigadda, Annaram, aur Sundilla barrages ke naye designs jaari karne se inkaar kar diya hai jab tak National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) ke zariye mandated technical reports aur test results muhayya nahi kiye jatein.
CDO ke Chief Engineer ne Ramagundam ke Kaleshwaram Chief Engineer ko likhe ek khat mein wazeh kiya ke redesign ke liye zaroori test data abhi tak nahi mila, jisme CWPRS Pune aur CSMRS Delhi ke geo-technical aur structural assessments shamil hain. Yeh tests NDSA ki final report ke baad mustahkam tor par mandate kiye gaye the.
NDSA ne Medigadda barrage ke Block 7 ko irreparable damage ka shikar qarar diya hai aur uska gate operation band karne ya specialized agency ke zariye targeted repair ka mashwara diya hai. Annaram aur Sundilla barrages par bhi additional assessments ki hidayat di gayi hai.
Pehle state government ne tests ke liye ₹20 crore allocate kiye the, lekin Medigadda contractor ne kharche uthana se inkaar kar diya tha. Is pe ex-Engineer-in-Chief ne June mein department ko likha tha ke contractor abhi bhi active hai aur tests ka kharcha usi par hona chahiye, jis ke baad testing ka amal rok diya gaya.
CDO ne Medigadda ke liye 10 categories, aur Annaram aur Sundilla ke liye 9-9 categories ki technical information maangi hai taake hydraulic, structural aur hydro-mechanical redesigns mukammal kiye ja saken. Yeh mudda 14 July ko irrigation minister ke chair mein hui review meeting mein bhi uthaya gaya tha.
CDO ne project engineers ko site inspection kar ke apne preferred restoration action ki tafseel CDO ko dene ko kaha hai. Department ne bhi tasdeeq ki hai ke redesign sirf NDSA ke recommendations ke mutabiq geo-technical, geo-physical aur hydraulic modelling par mabni hoga.
