Number of families facing displacement has gone up: Jagan
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy met Union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in New Delhi on Wednesday and sought approval for the revised cost of the Polavaram project, which is pegged at approximately ₹55,655 crore.
Mr. Jagan informed Mr. Shekhawat that the project cost had ballooned from the previously estimated figure due to a substantial increase in the number of families facing displacement (to over 1.06 lakh) and habitations that would be submerged.
