The Chief Minister sought the details and recommendations suggested by the NDSA in its interim report submitted to the government.

Accordingly, steps are being taken by Irrigation officials to complete the works on priority latest by June 10. But the Irrigation Department is yet to finalise terms with the implementation agency, L&T.

The NDSA team visited both Naragurjuna Sagar and the Srisailam projects in February this year to conduct safety inspection of the project structures.

Justice Ghose interacted with officials of the Irrigation Department right from the Irrigation Secretary to the Chief Engineer of the project for the initial briefing after a powerpoint presentation.

In a statement BJP spokesperson NV Subhash said though the probe agencies had submitted their reports to the government, the government was neither taking action against the accused nor making the reports public.

The team had a thorough inspection of the barrages and the sagging portions of the structures during its first visit on March 7 and 8.

National Dam Safety Authority had sought information in detail on 20 items related to the construction of the project as listed by it latest by October 29
