00:00In Karnataka, the Thungabhadra dam was hit by a chain link two days ago due to a heavy downpour.
00:09The water is being released through the dam.
00:14Kannayanayadu, who is responsible for arranging the dam, has called him to Thungabhadra dam.
00:26He has agreed to temporarily arrange the dam.
00:33Let's ask Kannayanayadu, who is responsible for Thungabhadra dam.
00:41What is the reason for the dam to be lost?
00:45What is the reason for the temporary arrangement of the dam?
00:50What are your suggestions?
00:52Thungabhadra dam was built in 1954.
00:57We have been maintaining it since then.
01:04We used to manufacture Thungabhadra steel products.
01:08In 2002, Thungabhadra steel products were closed.
01:11Till then, we gave the guidelines and maintained it.
01:17Compared to other dams, this dam has 33 gates.
01:22We regularly inspect the rest of the gates.
01:28Once every three years, we inspect the rest of the gates.
01:31It is being maintained very well.
01:33According to the Government of India rules, the life of the gates and equipment is 45 years.
01:39The life of the dam is 100 years.
01:42This dam has a life span of 70 years.
01:46In Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, there are no dams that have a life span of 70 years.
01:58New dams have a life span of 20 to 30 years.
02:02The gates and equipment are being maintained well.
02:07The imported oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:12The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:15The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:18The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:21The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:24The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:27The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:30The oysters have a life span of 70 years.
02:34I sent a letter to Delhi.
02:37It was approved yesterday.
02:40The state government gave clearance yesterday.
02:43They started the fabrication yesterday.
02:46The bridge above the dam is free.
02:49We left it there.
02:52We left it there without taking any risk.
02:55We left it there for a month and it was closed.
02:58No one took the risk and agreed to remove the bridge.
03:01No one took the risk and agreed to remove the bridge.
03:04I proposed to lay a counterweight and assemble a platform.
03:07I proposed to lay a counterweight and assemble a platform.
03:10They said no.
03:13They said no.
03:16They said no.
03:19They said no.
03:22They said no.
03:25They said no.
03:28In the morning there will be two elements and in the evening one.
03:32I gave two days for for detail planning and explained about day will be extra.
03:37Some say there is no way to set the bridge through a stop lock.
03:39Some say there is no way to set the bridge through a stop lock.
03:42How do you think of these diabetes issues.
03:45How do you think of these diabetes issues.
03:49I have been maintaining the electric line in this line since 1972.
03:52I have been maintaining the electric line in this line since 1972.
03:55Sri Rangachari, who built the dam and put the welding gates, is my guru.
03:59Sri Rangachari is Vishesh Rai's guru.
04:02He is his disciple.
04:04We trained him and tried a lot to put stop logs.
04:08What can we do with this stone?
04:11If a stone moves, everything will be lost.
04:14That's why our Central Water Commissioners didn't agree to touch the stone.
04:19We have this problem everywhere.
04:21We have the same problem in Nagarjuna Sagar.
04:23We have the same problem in Prakasham Barrage.
04:26In Prakasham Barrage, I replaced all the gates in 2002.
04:32We replaced the gates in Singur.
04:36We replaced the gates in Naranpur.
04:39We replaced the gates in 2007 and they are still working.
04:44This is the first time we have this problem.
04:48We are trying our best.
04:51We have referred this issue to the CWC, the Chairman of Flood Disaster.
04:57He said the chain has become outdated.
05:00He said it is a problem.
05:02We have to decide how much the board will change the gates.
05:06If the board decides,
05:08if they change the gates according to our request,
05:12in 30 years, there will be no problem.
05:15To repair a broken gate,
05:17if 60 TMC's of water is drained,
05:20there will be no chance to repair the gate.
05:25What is your advice?
05:27This is a 60-foot dam.
05:30In India, we don't have a 60-foot vertical dam.
05:34In UP, there are two projects.
05:37I did that too.
05:39It is difficult to come to a 60-foot dam and make it temporary.
05:44To handle a 60-foot dam,
05:49the bridge is not strong enough.
05:52So, we have brought two canals from Kazindhal
05:55and placed them in the centre of the pier.
05:58We are trying to handle it.
06:00We are taking some trial and error.
06:03The bridge has become old.
06:05We are doing everything to avoid taking risks.
06:09But if we want to bring the flow of water,
06:12we have decided to do it when the flow is at 12 feet.
06:17The government has given us permission.
06:20For the past 5 years, the dams have not been repaired.
06:24There has been no maintenance.
06:26Do you think there is a lack of maintenance?
06:28There is a shortage of dams.
06:30It is not just here.
06:32The maintenance has been done well.
06:37But because of the age,
06:39the dams are not in our hands.
06:42People are not strong enough.
06:44They will die.
06:46They will get a heart attack.
06:48If they get a heart attack,
06:50they won't be able to get treatment.
06:52Such incidents happen.
06:54The government should be ready to handle it.
06:57There are 33 gates now.
06:59How is the situation with the other gates?
07:02The gates are good.
07:04There are some doubts about the age.
07:07I have given them a method to check.
07:09We will confirm it.
07:13How long will it take to arrange the gates?
07:163 more days.
