CM Urges PM To Stop Polavaram Project

Update: 2019-07-03 10:36 GMT
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to bring the construction of Polavaram Project to a halt.

Recently, Centre offered necessary clearances for the Polavaram Project. Odisha CM raised objection for Polavaram citing tribal villages in Malkangiri District will get submerged and the irreparable damage it causes to Agriculture Land & Forest Area in Odisha.

Naveen Patnaik appealed the Prime Minister to conduct a public hearing in Odisha on Polavaram Project. He stressed the need to change the design of the National Project while expressing concerns over the damage it causes to Odisha.

Polavaram Project is the life-line of Andhra Pradesh. YSR Congress Government is keen to complete the project by 2022. What would be the response of CM Jaganmohan Reddy to the appeal made by Odisha?
