Maharashtra and Telangana Agree to Joint Study on Raising Tummidihatti Barrage Height
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has responded positively to Telangana's request to raise the Tummidihatti barrage height from 148 to 152 metres, aiming to enhance irrigation for Telangana's tribal regions. Both states agreed to form a joint committee of senior officials to assess technical feasibility, water availability, submergence impact, and compensation for affected Maharashtra farmers. While Maharashtra prioritizes protecting its interests, it supports cooperative resolution, with final approval pending detailed studies and mutual agreement.
