Telangana welcomes KWDT-II order to base on Krishna water allocation on new terms of reference

The Hindu  

The Telangana government has welcomed the order of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II, chaired by Justice Brijesh Kumar, to adjudicate the matter of water allocation between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh based on the new terms of reference provided under Section 3 of the Interstate River Water Disputes Act, 1956. Minister for Irrigation N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, who was in New Delhi issued on Thursday for the tribunal hearing, expressed gratitude to the tribunal and highlighted that the order would facilitate securing Telangana’s rightful share of Krishna River waters and described the decision as a significant victory for the State. The erstwhile Bachawat Tribunal had awarded 811 TMCft of Krishna water to the undivided State of Andhra Pradesh. “After the formation of Telangana State, the then Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao reached an agreement with Andhra Pradesh and agreed for only 299 TMCft,” Uttam Kumar Reddy said criticising the previous Telangana government for ‘agreeing’ to the lower allocation and failing to safeguard the State’s water rights.
