The Telangana government has decided to forward a 114-page inquiry report on alleged irregularities in power purchase agreements to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This decision follows a cabinet meeting where Information and Public Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy announced that the report, submitted by former Supreme Court judge Madan B Lokur, found that the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government misused public funds in power purchases and engaged in corrupt practices during the construction of power plants. The inquiry's findings prompted the cabinet to act, especially since the agreements involved inter-state transactions and central government organizations. Additionally, the government plans to address pending inquiries related to the Kaleshwaram project and will decide on increasing land-registration charges by the end of the month. The cabinet also announced the establishment of solar plants at power sub-stations and procurement of crops during the ongoing season.
