Event Summary

The Chief Minister of India — Telangana>>>, Revanth Reddy>>>, has formally requested a meeting with India — Maharashtra>>> Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis>>> to discuss increasing the height of the proposed Tummidihatti Barrage on the India — Godavari River>>>. The barrage is a critical component of the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Pranahita-Chevella Lift Irrigation Scheme>>>. While India — Maharashtra>>> previously agreed to a Full Reservoir Level (FRL) of 148 metres in 2016, India — Telangana>>> now argues that this height is insufficient to meet the irrigation and drinking water needs of its northern districts, including Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, and Medak.
