Speaking at the preparatory meeting on September 9 ahead of the State Cabinet meeting in Kalaburagi, Mr Patil said that Maharashtra has not been fair in releasing Karnataka’s share from Ujani dam to Bhima river in Karnataka, due to which nearly 155 villages in the district face water scarcity every summer, meanwhile the Bhima river water is contaminated due to release of sewage from the city.
