Itare dam saga
The Itare project stalled despite billions paid out by the government to the contractor, CMC- di Ravena which is also in the middle of the Arror and Kimware dams saga.
CS Chelugui had said that the remaining works at Itare will be sub-contracted to a third party after the current contractor filed for bankruptcy.
