The Union Government has said it has noted Telangana’s concerns over the proposed Godavari-Banakacherla project, but no final decision has been taken. The project’s Preliminary Feasibility Report submitted by Andhra Pradesh is under examination by the Central Water Commission.
The National Water Development Agency (NWDA) will meet on August 22 to discuss the Godavari-Cauvery river linking project, which includes the controversial diversion of Godavari waters. The outcome of this meeting could have significant implications for Telangana's water rights and its relations with neighboring states.
The Expert Appraisal Committee has returned Andhra Pradesh’s Polavaram–Banakacherla Link Project proposal, citing legal and environmental concerns. It directed the State to consult the CWC and resolve inter-State issues before seeking clearance for an Environmental Impact Assessment study
