This is how Chandrababu caused severe damage to Polavaram 

Mistakes made by Chandra Babu Naidu when he was Chief Minister has caused severe damage to prestigious Polavaram Project of Andhra Pradesh. His decisions and the implementation of unplanned mechanism and adopting non engineering methods became curse for the project. The loss caused due his mistake cannot be described in words and also his failures made loss of very valuable time and money. At first, Spillway construction was to be taken in project, instead Coffer dam was constructed. This was done putting aside the major construction works on the project. Major portion of Coffer dam and roads were completely damaged due to heavy floods in Godavari last year and had to be rebuilt. There are lot of mistakes and failures by the Chandrababu’s government.

*Mistakes & Failures which caused severe damage to Polavaram by Chandrababu Naidu*

Trunnion Beams in 14 blocks on Polavaram Spill Way bridge failed.

Approach area in Gap – 1 was completely damaged because of constructing Upper Coffer Dam.

Construction of the Upper Coffer Dam has resulted in over flowing of flood water above spill way in 2019, 2020 and causing severe disruption to spill channel works and spillway works and also wasted very valuable time.

It took near about 2 months for clearing the stagnant flood water in spill way. And as a result every year valuable time was wasted with additional expenditure.

Constructing Coffer dam against the rules is a big mistake.

Due to heavy floods in Godavari river in 2019, 2002 season has caused huge crop & property damage to people living in the villages which are situated in the upper region of the project.

This damage was mainly because of the construction of Coffer Dam done by the Chandra Babu & Company which was against the rules.

Victims who lost everything due to floods in 2019 & 2020 has not received any compensation for their crop & property damage from Chandra Babu Contract Company. 

Mainly construction work taken up without any planning and adopting non engineering methods by Chandra Babu is purely betrayal towards the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Not having special focus on rehabilitation was a big lapse on their part.

Without completing construction of spill way, the Chandra Babu Contract Company made special interest in completion of Coffer dam and other constructions. 

In his tenure Chandra Babu has made huge publicity even of the incomplete Upper & Lower Coffer Dam also as great achievements by his contract company. 

Disruption of approach channel and pilot channel operations was also failure of Chandra Babu government.

The TDP government had forcibly took over more than 200 acres of land which yielded 2 crops a year for a dump yard situated in Moola Lanka, that to without paying any compensation to the farmers. 

Farmers faced several health & other problems as the drainage canal near to the dump yard was submerged due full negligence of Chandra Babu Naidu government. 

Chandra Babu Contract Company promised to develop hospitals and colleges along with construction of Polavaram, but they failed to keep their promises.
