A detailed day wise action plan is to be prepared by May 30, along with daily progress reports to be submitted by 5 PM and weekly reports to the government every Monday and Thursday.

The committee includes officials, engineers, and experts from various government agencies and reputed organisations such as L&T, Afcons, AFRY, Navayuga, and CWPRS. Meanwhile, Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy met the NDSA Chairman in Delhi to discuss testing, investigation, and rehabilitation procedures for the barrages under the Kaleshwaram project.
