Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has been sparring with Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambareesh over this subject
Amidst a verbal duel between former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambareesh over the protection of the KRS dam in Mandya district, the Karnataka government on Friday clarified that the dam is protected and there is no structural defect within the physique of the construction.
K. Jaiprakash, Managing Director of Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited, clarified that the Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project marketing consultant and Dam Safety Review Panel (DSRP) inspected gates of the dam on July 2 and that there is no structural defect within the wall of the construction.
Karnataka had acquired an award in 2017 for wonderful civil works on the KRS dam below the Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project of the World Bank.
Illegal mining within the neighborhood of the dam is mentioned to be the most important motive for renewed rivalry between the previous chief minister and the MP. Mr. Kumaraswamy courted controversy when he informed the MP to ‘sleep in front of the sluice dates of KRS dam to prevent seepage’.
Ms. Sumalatha had defeated Nikhil Kumaraswamy, the JD(S) candidate and son of Mr. Kumaraswamy within the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
