Road and Building Minister Komatyreddi Venkat Reddy said in a statement, “The accident occurred due to slipping concrete on the seepage on the 14th kilometer inlet (near Domalpanta) of the tunnel from Srisailam to Devarakonda.”
KTR attacked Congress government Taking a dig at CM Revanth Reddy, BRS Executive Chairman KT Rama Rao (KTR) said that Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy should take full responsibility for the SLBC tunnel accident.
Earlier in August 2024, there was an incident of retaining wall in the Sunkashala and now the accident. This clearly reflects the failure of the Congress government.
He alleged that such accidents are happening due to collusion with contractors and poor quality work.
KTR further said;-
Congress leaders created a lot of uproar over the fall of a barrage during the Kaleswaram project, now when such accidents are happening in their government, what will they say?
Retaining wall fell in Sunkashala in August Earlier on 1 August 2024, the retaining wall collapsed at the Sunkashala located near Nagarjunasagar Dam in Telangana. The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) held the Congress government responsible for the incident and demanded a judicial inquiry.
At the same time, the Congress retorted that this project was built at a cost of Rs 2,215 crore under BRS regime and the wall was collapsed due to poor quality.
