A virtual meeting held with the chief secretaries and Irrigation Department officials of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on Tuesday by Union Secretary, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Pankaj Kumar has not made much headway in the matter of implementation of the purview of Krishna and Godavari River Management Boards (KRMB and GRMB).
The meeting was held to take forward the implementation of gazette notification of July 15 last, which has officially come into force from October 14, as the State governments have adopted an approach of delayed/slow response in submitting the detailed project reports of ongoing and proposed projects, arranging seed money of ₹400 crore each by the two States, transfer of manpower, records to manage projects and handing over of projects for deployment of CISF personnel.
It is understood that the two States have not given any specific commitment to the MoJS Secretary and instead focused on clearance for their projects and also on complaining about projects taken up by the other State in violation of the existing KWDT award.
