Minister Uttam vows to intensify fight against AP’s illegal Banakacharla project

Hyderabad, June 6 (UNI) Telangana Irrigation Minister Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy reaffirmed the state government’s determination to resist Andhra Pradesh’s proposed Godavari-Banakacharla Link Project, calling it a blatant violation of inter-state water-sharing norms.
Speaking to the media at the Dr B R Ambedkar Telangana Secretariat on Friday, the Minister said he had written multiple letters to the Centre, exposing Andhra Pradesh’s attempt to divert Godavari floodwaters to Rayalaseema without mandatory approvals.
He noted that AP unveiled the project in December 2024 without submitting a Detailed Project Report (DPR) or obtaining clearances from the Central Water Commission (CWC), GRMB, KRMB, or the Apex Council, as mandated under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act (APRA), 2014.
