A retired Indian Police Service officer has approached the Andhra Pradesh High Court, seeking a judicial review of the Polavaram irrigation project.
A retired officer of the Indian Police Service has filed a petition before the Andhra Pradesh High Court, asking the court to re‑examine the Polavaram project. The filing seeks a formal review of the project's implementation and related approvals.
Polavaram, a large‑scale irrigation and water‑storage scheme on the Godavari River, has been a focal point of development plans in the state for years. The retired IPS officer’s petition challenges certain aspects of the project, though specific grounds have not been disclosed publicly.
The High Court has registered the petition and will schedule hearings to consider the arguments presented. No decision has been announced yet, and the matter remains pending before the judiciary.
