Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu said on December 1 (Friday) that the Andhra Pradesh Government was forced to reclaim its territory at the Nagarjunasagar Project (NSP) that extends up to 13 gates on its side, in the early hours of November 30 as they were being illegally operated by Telangana for quite some time in blatant violation of the relevant provisions of the A.P. State Reorganisation Act, 2014.

What happened was deliberately reported by a section of the media as a confrontation, Mr. Rambabu said, insisting that the said reclamation and its timing were not intended to benefit any particular party that contested in the Telangana Assembly elections.

Addressing the media here, Mr. Rambabu said that the NSP was so divided between A.P. and Telangana after bifurcation that they could exercise control over 13 gates each of the total 26 gates.
