Telangana State Electricity Assistant Engineers’ Association has requested the Special Chief Secretary (Energy) Sunil Sharma and the management of Telangana State Power Generation Corporation (TS-Genco), separately, not to hand over the hydro-electric projects in the Krishna Basin, particularly those at Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar projects, to the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB).
A delegation of the association led by its general secretary M. Anil Kumar met Mr. Sharma here on Friday and explained that generation of about 2,000 megawatt hydro-electric power would face serious difficulties in the event of transferring the employees of power projects to the river board. The difficulties were lesser to Andhra Pradesh since it had no pumping mode hydro-electric stations, while Telangana had them both at Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar.
The association observed that all the hydro-electric power generation stations mentioned in Schedule-2 were equipped with the water measuring mechanism and same was recorded. There was no necessity for KRMB to involve in the administration, operation and maintenance of hydel generating stations to manage the water usage.
The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
