New Delhi, December 15: Reassuring full support for the ambitus national irrigation project of Polavaram, Union Minister for Water Resources Nitin Gadkari asserted that Central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi would ensure the successful rollout of Polavaram.

Speaking to the media after the marathon meeting with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, Gadkari mentioned that both state and central governments are gearing up for the deadline of 2018. According to media reports, Naidu who is personally monitoring the development of the national project which is considered to be the lifeline of Andhra was reportedly unhappy over the misleading reports of Polavaram.

Responding to the queries related to contractors and issuing of tender, Gadkari pointed that had directed all stakeholders to fine tune the working process for meeting the proposed target. As quoted by The Hindu, the former BJP Chief maintained that all objections and litigations related to Land Acquisition and R&R would get addressed with a fruitful solution.

Both the leaders have reportedly zeroed the contentious issue involving new tenders for Spillway and Spill Channel concrete works by Transstroy. On this occasion senior State Water Resources Minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao and other officials were present.
