Special Chief Secretary in the state Irrigation Department, Rajat Kumar has written a letter to this effect yesterday to the Chairman, NDSA, Sanjay Kumar Sibal. He said many of the findings in respect of the reported sinking of the piers made by a six-member committee of the NDSA were either unsubstantiated or made without a full appreciation of the facts.<br />''<br />''In a point-by-point reply to the NDSA report, the Special Chief Secretary said sending the report to the state government in a hasty manner was an indictment of the Kaleswram Project.
