Finding fault with the Andhra Pradesh government for failing to enforce contract conditions, the Comptroller and Auditor General has said possibility of completion of the Polavaram multi-purpose project on the Godavari by the target date of 2019 "appear improbable."
In its audit report on the Economic Sector for the year-ended March 2017, tabled in the state Legislative Assembly Wednesday, the CAG noted that progress of execution of Polavaram project had been slow, mainly due to "improper planning, delays in finalisation of designs, land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement."
