Telangana has requested the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB), one more time, to provide it with data and copies of documents pertaining to clearances given to all water drawal systems of Andhra Pradesh based on Srisailam project before convening the fifth meeting of Reservoir Management Committee (RMC) for finalising the rule curves for two common projects.
“In spite of repeated requests made by Telangana (ENC’s office), KRMB has furnished the note placed fore the 58 th technical advisory committee (TAC) meeting held on July 4, 1994 on Srisailam Right Bank Canal against the request made for the note placed (by the then A.P. Government) before the 16 th TAC meet held on March 28, 1981,” Engineer-in-Chief of Telangana C. Muralidhar said in a letter addressed to Chairman of the river board.
He pointed out that the 58 th TAC meet had dealt with revising financial aspects mentioned in 16 th TAC meet but did not include the reasons for permitting Pothireddypadu Head Regulator and related works with discharge capacity of 11,150 cusecs against 2,250 cusecs specified during normal conditions and 4,960 cusecs during flood conditions.
