Repairs needed once again at Kindi dams
Owing to the recent increase in river water currents, waste has accumulated in the dams. Beneficiaries and contractors worked together to clean up some of these dams. Large amounts of wood waste have accumulated once again, necessitating removal and disposal.
Issues with board clearance persist
Due to the increased water levels in the rivers, the task of dredging the Mrityunjaya river and the Anangali Kindi dam remains unfinished, making the cleaning of waste accumulation in and around the dam difficult. In addition, there is a problem with sludge clearance in areas where water and pallets are unloaded.
