Telangana CM and Minister to Meet CBI Director on Kaleshwaram Project Probe

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy plan to meet the CBI Director to expedite the investigation into alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. Following a Telangana High Court ruling that upheld the validity of the Justice P. C. Ghose Commission report but ordered no immediate action, the state government is considering further steps, including a possible Supreme Court appeal or extending the commission. The meeting will involve submitting key reports from various agencies to the CBI, with other ministers participating in discussions on next steps.
