Andhra Pradesh’s claims on hydel power generation baseless: Telangana minister G Jagadish Reddy
SURYAPET: Telangana Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy found fault with the Andhra Pradesh for lodging a complaint with Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) on hydel power generation. The Energy Minister said that people of erstwhile Nalgonda district need drinking water and that was why the hydel power was being generated at Nagarjuna Sagar Project.
The Andhra Pradesh Irrigation officials told KRMB that the water released by Telangana from Nagarjuna Sagar after power generation would reach Pulichintala, which may damage the radial gates of Pulichintala. However, Jagadish said the fears of AP were baseless.
