- The Justice P.C. Ghose Commission submitted a 665-page report on Telangana’s Kaleshwaram Project barrages.
- All decisions on Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages were taken solely by then Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao from 2014 to 2016.
- Administrative approvals were granted on March 1, 2016, and contracts were signed without Central Water Commission (CWC) clearance.
- The Detailed Project Report was submitted to the CWC only in February 2017, after approvals and contracts were made.
- The barrages were constructed and used as dams or reservoirs, despite warnings about permeable soil by Water and Power Consultancy Services (WAPCOS) and experts.
- Construction delays caused multiple extensions: six for Medigadda, five for Annaram, and eight for Sundilla.
- The Commission found widespread procedural and financial irregularities throughout the Kaleshwaram Project in Telangana.
