To,
admin,
kindly include the full details about babli project regarding its height and why it is controversial, what all parties were fighting for it till now.
There is conspiracy behind this shameless chandra babu’s agitation. If the relation deteriorates between andhra pradesh and maharashtra the water coming from maharashtra will not be sufficiently let by the maha govt. into telangana’s newly connstructed(or ll be constructed)dams like chevella, telugu ganga ,ichampally or other future projects which need water from maharashtra.This inturn causes more damage to telangana rather than single babli project . Finally this agitation of cbn is indirectly effecting telangana in future and is a source to safeguard water share of andhra region which may be diverted to telangana lands after telangana state formation.
I request admin to provide full details of projects and dams which may be effected due to ill relations with maharashtra govt. in near future.
