Harish Rao credits KCR for decade-long struggle to secure higher share of Krishna waters

The Hindu  

Former Minister and MLA Harish Rao expressed satisfaction with the interim orders issued by the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal, according to Section 3 of the 1956 Interstate River Water Disputes Act, which would help Telangana get higher water share. The interim orders from the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal have affirmed the rights of Telangana to a fair allocation of Krishna River waters, consistent with the long-standing stance advocated by Mr.Chandrasekhar Rao that allocations should be State-based rather than project-based. Mr. Harish Rao reminded that the BRS government had gone to the Supreme Court in 2015 to ensure Telangana’s rights in Krishna waters and continued to press for an allocation of 575 tmcft water until the tribunal’s verdict. Mr. Harish Rao stressed the importance of continuing the fight for a permanent solution to the water distribution issue under Section 3, while He urged the government to act with integrity and support the State’s efforts to secure its legitimate water shares, emphasising that the BRS will lend support in all possible ways to ensure justice for Telangana.
