Naidu explained that streamlining the Polavaram project work would take two seasons, even if they start immediately. He added, “For completion of the first phase of the Polavaram project, we need Rs 12,500 crore. The Central government is set to release the funds by November, as it was already approved in the union budget.”
The Chief Minister’s focus on the diaphragm wall highlights its significance in the overall project. This development marks a crucial step forward in the state’s infrastructure plans and water management strategies.
