In a surprising move, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has extended an invitation to former Chief Minister and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) for a debate on the utilization of water resources from Godavari and Krishna rivers. This invitation comes in the wake of a PowerPoint presentation delivered by the current chief minister during a recent assembly session, where he discussed the transition from the Pranahita-Chevella Sujala Sravanthi (PCSS) project to the Medigadda project under the previous BRS government and its potential impacts on the state’s irrigation sector.
The presentation, focusing on the Krishna water issue, was made with an aim to seek valuable suggestions from KCR, given his extensive experience in matters related to water resources management. The debate is expected to shed light on various aspects of the water utilization projects, offering a comprehensive understanding of their implications for the state’s irrigation sector and overall development.
This invitation underscores the need for a constructive dialogue between the two leaders, as they work towards addressing critical issues such as water scarcity and ensuring sustainable growth in the region. The State Assembly eagerly awaits the outcome of this debate, which promises to be an insightful exchange of ideas on one of the most pressing concerns facing Hyderabad and Telangana at large.
In related news, the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) has issued a notice for the inspection of dams across the state, following a series of incidents involving dam failures in other parts of the country. The NDSA will assess the safety measures in place for these structures, with the goal of preventing any future incidents that may pose a threat to lives and property.
As the debate on water utilization unfolds and the NDSA works towards ensuring the safety of dams, it remains to be seen how these developments will shape the future of irrigation and water management in Hyderabad and Telangana as a whole.
