Revanth vows judicial inquiry into Medigadda collapse, says all MLAs will visit site

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday said that the state government would order an inquiry by a judge into the sinking of piers at the Medigadda barrage, which is part of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme.

Speaking in the Legislative Council, Revanth Reddy said that the state government will take all MLAs and MLCs to the Medigadda barrage after the conclusion of the Assembly session to apprise legislators on the poor quality of works of the Kaleshwaram project.

“The state government will order an inquiry by a sitting judge into the sinking of piers of Medigadda barrage to find who are behind poor quality of works, who are the ministers and officials during BRS regime who finalised the tenders and awarded the contracts for construction of Kaleshwaram project,” the Chief Minister said.

“No one was allowed to visit Kaleshwaram project all these days. Huge police force was deployed there to prevent anyone from visiting the project during the BRS regime. With this visit, several doubts surrounding this project among all, including MLAs and MLCs, will be cleared,” Revanth Reddy said.
