Minister says that Cabinet will soon discuss the NDSA report to decide future course of action
IRRIGATION Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Tuesday said that the state Cabinet would soon discuss the final report submitted by the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) on Kaleshwaram project and decide the future course of action.
Speaking to reporters here, the Irrigation minister said that the NDSA report on Kaleshwaram casts a shadow over the "crown jewel of the then BRS government", exposing what he called the worst man-made disaster in India's history.
Giving a PowerPoint presentation on the NDSA report at the Secretariat, Uttam said that the government would take action as per law against not just the officials responsible but also the politicians who gave instructions to officials for execution of the project.
When asked to name the politicians, Uttam said that everyone knows who the chief minister and Irrigation ministers were during the 10-year-rule of the BRS.
