Chairman of the Telangana State Legislative Council Gutha Sukender Reddy has alleged that the Andhra Pradesh Government has occupied half of the spillway area of Nagarjunsagar Dam and released water from the Right Canal without any approval by the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) as part of its conspiracy to give the rights of States into the hands of Centre.
Speaking to mediapersons at Nalgonda on Saturday, he termed the occupation of Nagarjunasagar under the management of Telangana as per the provisions of AP Reorganisation Act, akin to Srisailam dam was under its (AP’s) management, was not only a serious issue but also a malicious act. It amounted to encroachment of rights of Telangana and is undemocratic.
He pointed out that AP authorities have not stopped release of water to the Right Canal in spite of the clear instructions from KRMB although the river board had stated that no indent of AP for water release in December was pending with it.
