Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh CMs Discuss Krishna Water Release and River-Linking Project
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay met Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in Vijayawada to discuss inter-state water sharing, focusing on the release of Krishna River water to Chennai under the Telugu Ganga Project. Due to low reservoir levels and reduced inflows, Andhra Pradesh has released 4.08 TMC of water and may consider additional releases based on availability. Both leaders also discussed the proposed Godavari-Cauvery river-linking project as a long-term solution to water scarcity. Activists urged immediate water release to address Chennai's drinking water needs.
