The AP Cabinet has cancelled the tenders and land given to the Navayuga Engineering Company Ltd, on Wednesday. The cabinet committee meeting is in progress at the Secretariat at Velagapudi village in Guntur district. The Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy headed the cabinet.
In a shocking development for the Navayuga, Jagan cabinet has cancelled the company from the Polavaram Hydro Electric Project worth Rs 3,216 cr. The cabinet also decided to recollect the money released to the company as mobilization advance for construction of the Hydro-Electric project. In fact, the government cancelled the project from the company, as soon as Jagan took the charge as Chief Minister. After that, the Navayuga went to the High Court and took an interim order on it. The HC ordered to hold the reverse tendering process initiated by the State government for the project. At this juncture, the cabinet has taken this decision. Now the Irrigation and Water Resources department is all set to invite reverse tenders for both Polavaram head works as well as the Polavaram Hydro Electric Project. Both these works together amount to more than Rs 5,000 crore. Two tenders will be called together, informed the officials at the Water Resources department.
