Event Summary

India — Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has appealed to the India — India to resolve the state's rightful share of 15.9 TMC water from the Tungabhadra project, as it is currently receiving only 5-6 TMC. This shortfall is significantly impacting irrigation for thousands of acres in India — Telangana's Jogulamba Gadwal district. The Chief Minister has also highlighted issues such as stalled modernization works on the Rajolibanda Diversion Canal, despite India — Telangana having deposited Rs 59 crore, and heavy siltation on the India — Telangana side of the Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme (RDS) which hampers water diversion. An expert committee's 2004 recommendations for desilting have not been implemented. Revanth Reddy has requested the India — India to strengthen the India — Tungabhadra Board under the India — Central Water Commission to ensure efficient water utilization among the stakeholder states: India — Telangana, India — Andhra Pradesh, and India — Karnataka. A meeting with the Chief Ministers of these three states, chaired by Union Minister for Jal Shakti C. R. Patil, is scheduled to address these critical issues, including the inauguration of 33 newly-installed spillway gates at the Tungabhadra dam.
