Centre Delays Decision on National Status for Telangana Lift Irrigation Projects Amid Water Disputes
The Telangana Government seeks national project status and financial support for its Kaleshwaram and Palamuru-Rangareddy lift irrigation projects, but the Centre has yet to respond. Andhra Pradesh objects to Telangana's increased water usage and pumping capacity in Kaleshwaram, urging holistic resolution of inter-state water disputes. The Union Jal Shakti Ministry awaits the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II's decision on water sharing before appraising the Palamuru-Rangareddy project. Karnataka also raises concerns over Telangana's water use from Srisailam reservoir.
