Repairs to retaining wall delayed

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.
