Telangana to Godavari Board: Only one project can be listed

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Telangana state government on Monday strongly told the Godavari River Management Board that there was no necessity for the board’s sub-committee to discuss the jurisdiction of any project on the river other than the Peddavagu project which serves both TS and AP. The government told the board that all the other projects and components on the Godavari mentioned in Schedule-2 of the Centre’s gazette notification exclusively serve Telangana and must be removed from the list. The TS government refuted the demand of its Andhra Pradesh counterpart on taking over jurisdiction of Telangana projects in the Godavari basin, especially those that facilitate conveying waters to unserved areas of the Krishna basin, Telangana was diverting water from the dependable share entitled to it, and it was within the ambit of the Godavari Waters Disputes Tribunal Award. It does not attract provisions of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal Award “by any stretch of imagination.” It called the demand of the AP government “irrelevant and uncalled for.” The TS government said that the Krishna River Management Board had been involving members of the sub-committee in site visits as well preparation of handing over notes.
