Hyderabad: The second meeting of the Apex Council, constituted to resolve the water sharing issues between Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh will be held on Tuesday at 11 am. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will be participating in the meeting chaired by Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, through video conference. AP Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy will be attending the meeting in a similar fashion.

The agenda points set by the Jal Shakti ministry include jurisdiction of Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) and Godavari River Management Board (GRMB), submission of the detailed project reports (DPRs) of new projects to the river managements boards, establishing a mechanism for determination of share of Krishna and Godavari waters between both the States, and shifting of KRMB headquarters to Andhra Pradesh.

The earlier meeting, which was scheduled for August 5, was postponed after Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao requested for a change in date due to prior commitments.

The Apex Council meeting was necessitated because of the unresolved disputes between the sibling States regarding river water sharing. Telangana State urged for an early meeting to discuss the AP government’s plan to lift 3 tmc of Krishna water from the Srisailam project by enhancing the capacity of the Pothireddypadu head regulator.

1st Apex Council meeting held in 2016
