Union Minister (for Water Resources) Arjun Ram Meghwal who chaired a daylong meeting with irrigation ministers of Southern states has come up with a shocking decision. The Union Minister said that from here on a Central Tribunal will be in place for solving water disputes between states in the country. Arjun Ram Meghwal announced that there wouldn’t be any state tribunals.
Concluding the daylong meeting, the Minister said, ‘A lot of money is being wasted in the form of Tribunals that were set up for every primary river. Instead, the Centre is calling for a unified tribunal, which will replace all the existing state tribunals and river tribunals.
The Parliament will pass this bill in the upcoming Parliamentary sessions in March.’
Speaking at the occasion, Telangana Minister (for Water Resources), Harish Rao said, the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal which has been working for over 14 years failed miserably.
‘The Andhra Pradesh government, alleging that it is creating hurdles for carrying out RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) Modernization works. The Centre needs to take a clear stance in this regard. The Centre should ensure successful implementation of the tripartite treaty between Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka’ concluded Harish Rao.
