However, the congress leaders were perfectly utilizing Kaleshwaram.
According to engineers, out of 86, only three pillars of seventh block shrank and remaining pillars were in good condition. It was also proved in the July when 12 lakh cusecs of water had flown down from the project. It was a classic example of how the dam was safe.
