The Andhra Pradesh government has said there is no query of compromising on its share in Krishna waters. The state government has asked Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) to make the allocation of water from Krishna projects in 70:30 ratio in lieu of the present 66:34 ratio.
In a high-level review meeting on water resources and irrigation, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao instructed the irrigation officials to put forth their strong arguments about the rightful share of Telangana state in the Krishna River waters. He also guided the officials on the strategy to be adapted on the matter.
Responding to the letter of KRMB on asking the opinion of Telangana proposal of 50:50 ratio of water sharing between two Telugu states, AP Engineer-in-Chief Narayana Reddy said that the share in water pumps was not reasonable. The Andhra Pradesh government has written to the KRMB to allocate water at a 70:30 ratio for the 2021-22 water year as per the directions of the Second Tribunal for Krishna Water Disputes.
Andhra Pradesh clarified that the water share was not allocated project wise in the united state and some regulations were made in the supply of drinking water from the Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar projects to Chennai and the city of Hyderabad.
