The Government of Telangana has been enjoying unlawful authority over the Nagarjunasagar Project (NSP), which is located downstream of the Srisailam project on the Krishna river, alleges Shashibhushan Kumar, Principal Secretary, Water Resources Department.
The Telangana government has also been creating trouble when the Government of Andhra Pradesh tries to draw water from the NSP in accordance with the allocations made by the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB), which cannot be accepted, he asserts.
The inter-State water dispute came to the fore again with the Government of Andhra Pradesh taking control of its properties on the NSP during the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.
