The Project Appraisal Directorate in the Central Water Commission (CWC) has addressed a letter to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, stating that the appraisal of the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) cannot be carried out currently as the matter is sub-judice since adjudication of water sharing between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is before Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (KWDT)-II.
In response to a VIP reference made by the Telangana CM in January, the Directorate wrote back that the detailed project report of PRLIS taken up by Telangana in the Krishna Basin was submitted to the CWC for techno-economical appraisal on September 13, 2022, and was under examination.
