‘Water row’ to be raised in Parliament
The State government has decided to continue its uncompromising struggle for protection of the interests of Telangana on all the available platforms for securing its rights on sharing Krishna river water. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has made it clear that the government will not compromise on its resolve to secure Telangana’s share in Krishna water and is committed to protect the interests of farmers of the State. The Chief Minister’s assertion comes in the light of the State Cabinet’s decision to protect the rights of Telangana in securing its share in Krishna water and continue generation of hydro electric power for operation of the lift irrigation projects launched in the State. The Chief Minister held a high level meeting to discuss the State’s rights on Krishna water late on Tuesday where it was decided to voice the State’s concerns in the Tribunals and courts. It was decided to make a strong pitch to highlight the moves by Andhra Pradesh government in its efforts that were harmful to the interests of the State. Accordingly, it was decided to raise the issue in the forthcoming Parliament session for protection of the State’s interests.More Related News
