Telangana Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao, who reportedly claimed that Nagarjuna Sagar project was under Telangana’s jurisdiction and the government would take steps to stop release of water downstream. It was unfortunate that the Telangana Minister was trying to raise controversies with his remarks at a time, when the two States should act in effective coordination to protect the interests of farmers on both sides.

He said that the officials of both states should together working on it. He was angry, about the issue of telengana dispute over Srisailam downstream. He argued that they were very sympathetic in meeting the requirements of Andhra Pradesh farmers even though the state had already exhausted its share of Krishna water. The central government is also looking seriously on this issue. Let us expect an announcement from the government.
