Telangana has expressed displeasure at the non-inclusion of its views in the draft report and recommendations on rule curves for the operation of Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar projects prepared by the Reservoir Management Committee (RMC) of the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) and requested the RMC to revise the draft report by incorporating views of Telangana.
“The proposals made by Andhra Pradesh at the fourth meeting of the RMC held on August 4 have been incorporated in the draft report and recommendations conveyed to the Member-States for finalising the rule curves at the fifth meeting of the committee. But none of the proposals made by Telangana has been included,” Engineer-in-Chief (General-Irrigation) of Telangana C. Muralidhar said in a letter addressed to RMC-KRMB.
Besides, the proposals made by AP have been made part of the draft report and recommendations and not as discussion points. He stated that Telangana had made it clear at the 4 th RMC meeting that it would come back on the issues after getting instructions from the government. However, the draft report communicated by Member of KRMB who is also the convener of RMC was bereft of the issues raised by Telangana.
