HYDERABAD: Even as the Centre proposed linking of the rivers in the Union budget, Telangana said no move should be initiated until availability of water in Godavari river was determined.
Raising apprehensions, it said any proposal to link rivers should be taken up only after holding consultations with both states. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana share Krishna and Godavari river basins and sharing of irrigation water has always been the bone of contention.
