The barrage pillars will be repaired and brought back to the previous condition as per the instructions and advice of the Central Dam Safety Authority, they said.
The hue and cry over the sagging of a few piers of the Medigadda Barrage is part of a bigger conspiracy that can be attributed to vested interests in Andhra Pradesh, said V Prakash Rao
Kaleshwaram was a scheme with multiple reservoirs, multiple pump houses and canal networks that stretched for kilometres, and not just one barrage, said KTR
The coffer dam, a temporary structure which can help maintain a dry work area for taking up the rehabilitation work in the affected stretches of the structure, would be built covering the impacted stretches due to sinking of the piers in Block no 7 for diverting water.
In a point-by-point rebuttal of the NDSA report, Rajat Kumar dashed off a letter to NDSA chairman Sanjay Kumar Sibal terming the report that was communicated to the State government in a hasty manner "an indictment of the Kaleshwaram project".
The barrage had been constructed by L&T Construction, as per the design provided by authorities to the quality and standards for Telangana and handed over in 2019.
They perceived that the report had been "hastily compiled under pressure” from powers-that-be to give a political colour, while overlooking key submissions by the state.

In an official statement, the L&T spokesperson said at one of the locations of Block-7 of the Medigadda barrage, a bridge portion was observed to be sagging after a loud noise on Saturday evening.
However, 12 villages were affected due to submergence and the Telangana government had already paid compensation to private land of 234.92 hectare of total 369.13 hectares required for the project.
