Andhra Pradesh has lodged a complaint with the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) against hydro-electric generation taken up by Telangana at its Srisailam Left Bank Hydro Electric Station, impacting the build-up of water level in Srisailam reservoir.
In a letter addressed to Member-Secretary of the river board D. M. Raipure, Engineer-in-Chief of A.P. C. Narayana Reddy stated that Telangana had taken up hydel generation once the inflow into Srisailam picked up. Generation was taken up from July 14 and letting water to Nagarjunasagar when Srisailam has only one-fourths capacity of water.
Although it was on for a few hours that day, it was on continuously from Friday morning, the AP-ENC said and requested the Board to direct Telangana to stop generation immediately.
