Telugu states water issues - Need attention

Telangana, Dec 6 : G Vivek, the newly appointed advisor on inter-state issues of Telangana Govt, wants the business of tackling contentious issues get down on the basis of priority. On Dec 14, the ex-MP of Peddapalli will occupy his office in the secretariat.

Vivek said, "The contentious water issue between AP and Telangana needs attention. For the prestigious Pranahita-Chevella project, Telangana will have to ensure that Maharashtra does not withhold water in upstream Godavari basin, while the issue with AP is largely with sharing of Krishna water for irrigation and drinking,".

Adding to that, he told to the media, "At the height of the struggle for a separate Telangana, I had made a presentation to the Sri Krishna Committee on why bifurcation was necessary and matters that would need special attention,".

Before, Vivek was with Congress, during the stir he joined he joined TRS. When UPA announced Telangana state he again came back to congress after joined in TRS again.
