flag Telangana demands 70% of Krishna River water, citing fairness and science, as tribunal deliberates.

flag Telangana’s Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy is urging the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II to grant the state a 70% share of Krishna River waters, citing equitable distribution based on basin factors like catchment area, population, drought-prone zones, and cultivable land. flag He argued Telangana is entitled to 763 TMC of reliable water and criticized past agreements that allocated less, calling them unfair. flag Reddy opposed Andhra Pradesh’s diversions of water outside the basin and demanded saved water be redirected to drought-affected areas. flag He emphasized the claim is based on scientific principles, not politics, and affirmed Telangana’s resolve to protect its water rights regardless of neighboring state governments. flag The tribunal’s final arguments have concluded, with the case pending decision.
