Overview
- At an industry event in Hyderabad, the Telangana Chief Minister asked N. Chandrababu Naidu not to block permissions or execution for PRLIS, Kalwakurthy, Dindi, SLBC, Bheema and Nettampadu.
- He said delayed clearances have constrained bank lending and AIBP releases, increasing Telangana’s financing burden, while Naidu separately called for avoiding disputes over river waters.
- BRS leaders alleged the government cancelled PRLIS tenders and left only canal works unfinished, deepening distress in the Palamuru region.
- Former minister T. Harish Rao accused the KRMB of diverting Rs 4.18 crore earmarked by Telangana for Krishna telemetry devices and urged the state to seek recovery from the Centre.
- BJP’s Bandi Sanjay said PRLIS was excluded from Section 89 protections in the Reorganisation Act and blamed Congress, as Planning Board vice-chair G. Chinna Reddy warned a Dindi lift from Edula would sharply inflate costs.
