The Justice PC Ghose Commission has completed its investigation into the Kaleshwaram project. Statements from former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and former Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao will play a vital role in the report due in July.
The inquiry concluded with a session involving KCR on Wednesday. The Commission has already drafted much of the report and will incorporate key insights from KCR and Harish Rao. Over 110 officials, including political figures, provided their statements, which have been carefully analyzed. The Commission has made determinations on aspects such as the construction quality and the management of the project’s structures.
Officials emphasized that documentary evidence is essential for resolving each issue. Statements lacking support from evidence will not be considered. The project involves complex technicalities, so common political statements are irrelevant. The roles of legislative and executive bodies in project execution differ significantly. Recommendations from technical institutions are crucial for the report’s preparation.
Justice Ghose is thoroughly examining technical details, as engineering, planning, and execution were crucial in building the barrages. The authorities played a significant role, but the focus will be on the instructions given by the former CM and Irrigation Minister. As the probe concludes, the Commission will request additional information from the government before finalizing the report.
