Revanth calls for strong arguments for TG's rightful share before Krishna Tribunal

Hyderabad:Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday stressed the need for robust arguments before the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II to secure Telangana’s rightful share of Krishna river water under Section 3 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act -1956. He instructed irrigation officials to send letters of objection to Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, and the Godavari and Krishna River Management Boards. The Chief Minister emphasised that as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, any new river project within the two states requires prior notification to GRMB, KRMB, and the neighbouring state. Telangana is now pushing for a revised allocation of 550 TMCft, arguing for equitable distribution based on basin spread and opposing Andhra Pradesh’s alleged plans to use Krishna water outside the river basin areas.
