The retaining wall of the road that leads to Singoor project in Medak district has been crying for attention.
A part of the retaining wall, that supports the road linking the project, has collapsed long ago and no attention has been paid to that.
According to sources, the irrigation officials sent proposals to the government urging to sanction Rs. 1.2 crore for constructing the wall.
No response
But, there has been no response from the State government so far.
However, the officials claim that it would not harm the project in any way as it was not directly linked to the main construction while admitting that it may spoil the approach road if not repaired at the earliest.
We are ready to take up repairs immediately provided funds were released. The proposals were sent almost a year ago, but due to various reasons including elections, State bifurcation, new government formation the release has been delayed. We are following up the issue and are sure that funds will be released shortly, said an engineer in the Irrigation Department.

Repairs to retaining wall delayed
THEY were promised this development wouldn't affect them, but Ferngrove Lane residents are living in fear.
Neighbours David Screen and Davida Presley said the plans to develop melaleuca swamp land at Andergrove has put immense stress on their lives.
The project includes building a retaining wall, which is up to 3.4 metres high in some parts, to be built on the edge of their properties.
The Daily Mercury reported on Mr Screen's concerns when the development was first approved in October 2013.
Last week, a builder came to his home and asked him to sign a form allowing workers access to his property.
"They need to pull my fence down to build the retaining wall," he said.
Mackay Regional Council has a drain running on the side of his property on an easement that clears floodwater from Andergrove Rd.
He is concerned when a flood does happen, the retaining wall will dam all the water into his home as the drain and wetlands overflow.
"In the 2008 floodwater was up to the outside of my shed," he said. Ms Presley is not concerned her property will flood, but said the development had caused stress.
"It's not supposed to impact our lives, but it's impacting on our lives something fierce," she said.

Jordan Ives, the nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s crew chief Greg Ives, survived a fiery Super Late Model wreck at New Smyrna Speedway on Saturday.
The incident occurred during practice when Ives, 16, spun in the corner and made contact with the outside retaining wall with the rear of his car. Almost immediately, fire spread into his car as he scrambled to get out.
Luckily, Ives was able to clear himself from the wreckage as the fire began to spread throughout the car and down the track. Safety crews were eventually able to extinguish the flames, but Ives' car was a total loss.
Fellow racer Brandon Oakley had a front row seat for the incident.
"He just broke loose in front of me and slid up and hit the wall and there was a huge ball of flames," Oakley told Speed51.com. "I just turned left to not hit him."
Depsite losing the car, Ives took to his Facebook page to let everyone know he was OK after the incident.
"Our week is down we backed it into the wall and the car caught on fire and burned to the ground but I'm ok," he wrote.
The fiery incident burnt the track and the outside retaining wall. Some pieces of debris had to be scraped from track after melting into the racing surface, according to Speed51.com.

BRATTLEBORO >> The town will have to spend between $391,500 and $774,000 to save the Green Street retaining wall above Harmony Lot, according to a report that was recently completed, and the Selectboard will now have to decide which method to pursue to save the failing structure.
Lower Green Street has been closed to traffic since early September when deep cracks were found in the pavement and engineers determined that the massive wall holding up the road was shifting down toward the Harmony Parking Lot.
The Public Works Department asked Stevens & Associates to evaluate the existing condition and make recommendations to address the issue, and the report laid out three different options the town could take to replace, restore or remove the stone wall. Department of Public Works Director Steve Barrett met with Town Manager Peter Elwell to talk about the options, and Barrett is expected to present the report to the Selectboard soon to make a decision about the town's next step.
"Whatever option we go with, it has to be done soon because the wall is in danger of collapsing," Barrett said. "The wall continues to move and it is a very serious situation."
Stevens & Associates engineers Brud Sanderson and Hamilton Hodgman found that the wall is currently overturning at the southeast leg, with out-of-plumb measurements exceeding one foot. The wall is failing deep within the soils holding up the road, according to the report, and the engineers are recommending a complete reconstruction or removal.
While Barrett said more work has to be done before committing to one of the three options, Barrett said he is probably going to recommend that the town rebuild the wall at a cost of about $550,000.
The town has a number of construction material options to consider, ranging in cost from $449,500 to $774,000, and Barrett said he would have more information for the Selectboard at the Feb. 17 meeting on the advantages and challenges of each material.
Along with reconstructing the wall, the report also provides information on a method using soil nails, which act to stabilize the structure instead of rebuilding it. This method would require some specialized machinery to access the site, and would cost an estimated $572,000.
