Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday requested the Union Water Resources Ministry to notify the jurisdiction of Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) to protect the legitimate interests of the State with regard to their rightful share in River Krishna waters. In a communication to Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekawat, party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar explained that the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal (KWDT-I) has awarded 811 TMC of water to be utilized by united Andhra Pradesh while KWDT-II (Brijesh Kumar Tribunal) has given new award in the year 2010, but has not been published yet as the matter is pending in Supreme Court. At present, the utilization is as per the KWDT-I award only. The A.P. Reorganization Act (APRA) -2014 ensured that KRMB and Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) maintain the projects and regulate water distribution for both States. However, jurisdiction of both these Boards has not yet been notified by the Centre.
