Tungabhadra Dam Gate Repair Works: తుంగభద్ర డ్యామ్లో గల్లంతైన 19వ గేటు స్థానంలో స్టాప్ లాగ్ ఏర్పాటుకు ప్రయత్నాలు ప్రారంభమయ్యాయి. నీటిని మరీ క్రస్టుగేట్ల దిగువకు తగ్గించకుండా అంతకన్నా ముందే స్టాప్ లాగ్ ఏర్పాటు చేయాలని తుంగభద్ర బోర్డు, కర్ణాటక, ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ అధికారులు నిర్ణయించారు. నీటి వృథా అరికట్టేందుకు సాధ్యమైనంత తొందరగా పనులు పూర్తిచేసేందుకు కృషి చెస్తున్నామని నిపుణులు, మంత్రులు తెలిపారు.

00:00As per the Government of India rules, the life span of gates and equipment is 45 years,
00:07and the life span of a dam is 100 years.
00:10This dam has a life span of 70 years.
00:13On the 10th, they called me at midnight,
00:17and I arranged a bulkhead with my team,
00:22and sent it to Delhi at 5 in the morning.
00:25Yesterday, it was approved by the Delhi State Government.
00:30Yesterday, they started the fabrication.
00:33Now, if you see here, the bridge above the dam was free,
00:38and we left it there.
00:40We left it without taking any risk.
00:42In a month, we left one on top of the other, and it closed.
00:45Here, no one took such a risk and did not agree to leave it.
00:48They did not agree to remove the bridge.
00:50Now, no one has come forward to stand on this water and fund it.
00:53I gave them a proposal to build a counterweight,
00:56a platform, and assemble it here.
01:00They said, let it work only in 8 feet of water, and not the rest.
01:06Now, since our people need water,
01:09they are trying to build it in 12 feet of water.
01:13We have also taken the help of Zindabad.
01:15They are sending currents to build the platform today.
01:18Tomorrow morning, two elements will come.
01:20One will come in the evening.
01:22I have given the program for three days.
01:24If it is done, one more day will be extra.
01:27Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, yesterday morning,
01:29very early morning, you gave very clear instructions.
01:34Under any circumstances,
01:36put in full effort.
01:39Try to pay every penny.
01:41Anantapuram district, Kurnool district,
01:43Ballari, Raithang,
01:45we have to save them.
01:48We are in a situation where
01:501% should not be less in effort.
01:52Even now, we are managing the situation.
01:54Basically, we already have a picture.
01:57What to do in the future?
01:59A plan of action is ready.
02:01What are we going to do?
02:03We will talk to you in detail after the program is over.
02:05The life of the gate is 45 years.
02:09But because it is 70 years,
02:11the problem has arisen.
02:13I am saying this as a priority.
02:16Until the gate is ready,
02:20the stop block gates will be completed.
02:23The water will not go out.
02:25As soon as there is a little water left,
02:27we will arrange for it.
02:29We are working on it.
02:31We have sent a team of
02:33CEs and SCs
02:35for designing.
02:39Whatever kind of cooperation is required,
02:42we are ready to give everything.
02:46This is a message from Mr. Chandrababu.
02:48Whatever it is,
02:50what they say is a priority.
02:52At least in 2 days,
02:54we will arrange for 2-3 gates.
02:57We will complete the rest of the work.
