Resolution In Assembly That Irrigation Projects Should Not Be Handed Over To Krishna Board🚫💧
Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy moved a resolution in the Telangana Assembly that the irrigation water projects should not be handed over to the Krishna River Management Board.🚫💧
Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy moved a resolution in Telangana Assembly that Krishna projects should not be handed over to KRMB board. It was alleged that during the ten years of BRS rule, Telangana suffered more damage than the common state.
It has been alleged that the Andhra Pradesh government took over the Nagarjuna Sagar project with the help of forces a few days before the Telangana assembly elections. He said that KCR did not respond even though he was given 3 TMC of water per day in the name of Rayalaseema lift.
He said that the UPA government recognized the formation of the state of Telangana and approved the formation of a separate state because of the serious injustice being done to Telangana in the river waters. Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that in the ten years of formation of Telangana state, more injustice has been done than in the past.
Pothireddypadu head regulator said that the capacity of 11,150 cusecs was built in 1983 when NTR was the CM, and then it was increased to 40,000 cusecs during the YS regime, and when BRS came, Srisailam agreed to move it in 840 feet of water.
He said that in 2020 Pothireddy Padu capacity has been increased by 92 thousand 500 cusecs through JVO 203 and permission has been issued to move 3 TMC per day through Rayalaseema lift scheme. It is alleged that these decisions were taken when the previous government was in Telangana. He asked why BRS did not respond even though 8 tmc of water is being taken from Pothireddy Dam per day.
Uttamkumar Reddy questioned why BRS did not care about diverting the entire river. He said that Jivo 203 was released on May 5, 2020, why did they not care about the loss of Telangana. He warned that Nagarjuna Sagar will dry up in future.
It was explained that the capacity of Muchumarri has been increased by 6500 cusecs, KC Canal by 1000 cusecs, near Mallya from 3000 cusecs to 6000 cusecs.
He said that after the formation of Telangana there was more injustice than before. He said that from 2004 to 2014, 727 TMC out of 10665 TMC went to non-basin areas and after the formation of Telangana state, 1200 TMC went to non-basin areas. After the coming of TRS government, fifty percent was transferred to Andhra.
It is alleged that when the Bachawat Tribunal awarded 811 TMCs in the united state of Andhra Pradesh, the BRS party approved the allotment of 299 TMCs which was detrimental to the interests of Telangana.
After the award of the Bachawat Tribunal, more than 500 TMCs were handed over to Andhra and they complained that they fought for half of the water in the last year. They want to tell why they agreed to distribute 299 TMC water.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that severe injustice was done to Telangana, mainly South Telangana in the case of projects by the previous governments. A resolution was introduced in the assembly to make allocations to AP and Telangana based on catchment area, population and drought impact.
Every year since 2015, the TRS government went to Delhi and nodded its approval for the allocation of 512 TMCs to Andhra and 299 TMCs to Telangana. He questioned why the Bachawat Tribunal did not give any directions for the allocation of river water between the two states and agreed to the decision to give 512 TMCs to AP. He said that even after the formation of the state, Telangana has been subjected to severe injustice in the matter of irrigation water.
He said that although Telangana has the rights to get more water in Krishna basin by all means, Andhra Pradesh has got more share due to the inefficiency of the government. He said that Andhra's argument in the courts is due to the approval of TRS. He said that due to non-installation of telemetry, calculations of how much water is being moved from Pothireddy Dam should have been done. He said that the government did not give that money either.
In the Apex Council meeting held on September 21, 2016, in the presence of Uma Bharati, KCR and Chandrababu agreed to allocate 512 TMC to AP.🚫💧
