Telangana should be given 71 percent share: Rahul Bojja

We told the board that we will not accept the 50:50 ratio: AP ENC Venkateswara Rao

The board chairman said that we will continue with the same ratio and take a decision according to the needs of the states. We have requested that the Krishna Board office be shifted to AP. We will discuss with the state government if the proposed details regarding the establishment of telemetry are given. The state government has decided to conduct model studies with a central government agency regarding the Srisailam project. We will carry out urgent repairs required for the next season until the results of the model studies are available,” Venkateswara Rao said.
