CM Naidu opposes Telangana projects on Krishna river

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who once portrayed himself as a proponent of mutual cooperation on shared river resources, has now taken a different stance against Telangana projects amid escalating tensions over equitable water sharing.

A fresh controversy erupted with a formal complaint from Andhra Pradesh to the Union Ministry of Jal



Shakti, demanding a halt to Telangana’s construction of 16 new irrigation projects outlined in a September 16 Government Order. 

AP officials accuse Telangana of initiating 42 unauthorized projects on the Krishna River since the 2014 bifurcation, bypassing approvals from the Central Water Commission (CWC), Apex Council, and Krishna River Management Board (KRMB).
