The Superintending Engineer (Central), Mr. V. Sivakumaran, has been entrusted with interception and diversion works of the CCRCP, in addition to his present responsibilities.

The present E.D., Mr R. N. Suryanarayana Singh, is also responsible for the execution of sewerage schemes, consultancy works, and scrutiny of designs of all the new STP projects and the proposed Chembarampakkam water treatment plant.

Of a total of 23 components of the CCRCP, 13 have been awarded to executing agencies while tenders are being evaluated for six components. In respect of two, bids have been floated.

While the tender is to be called for one, re-tendering is to be done for another.
