KRMB violation: CM Jagan files complaint against Telangana

Deccan Chronicle  

VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy has lodged a complaint with the Centre against the Telangana government, saying it is “acting unilaterally” in the Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar joint reservoir projects on River Krishna and is violating all the operational protocols, agreements and directives of the Krishna River Management Board. He complained that even though the minimum water level in Srisailam reservoir is less than 834 feet, the Telangana government is releasing water for power generation without any indent at least before Krishna River Management Board. The CM pointed out that even though the minimum water level in Srisailam reservoir was less than 834 feet, the Telangana government is releasing water for power generation without any indent at least before KRMB. With the Telangana government releasing water up to 796 feet downstream every year for power generation, it has become a tough task to maintain the minimum water level in Srisailam reservoir. Earlier too, this problem faced by AP was brought to the attention of the Centre.” The CM said, “Unless the water level in the Srisailam reservoir reaches 881 feet, it is not possible to release water from Pothireddypadu in a full-fledged manner and cater to the drinking water needs of Sri Potti Sreeramulu Nellore and Prakasam and the Chennai metropolis in addition to the irrigation and drinking water needs of drought-prone Rayalaseema.” Informing the illegal projects taken by Telangana, Jagan complained, “The Telangana government is constructing the Palamuru-RangaReddy Lift Scheme and the Dindi schemes at 800feet without any environmental clearances is being constructed on a large scale without permission.
