A group of Telangana ministers will leave for Bengaluru on Tuesday to seek the release of water for the Jurala project. In the wake of the water shortage in the Krishna basin, the Telangana government hopes to resolve the issue through talks with the neighboring state of Karnataka.

As part of this visit, a group of ministers and MLAs will meet Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. They will appeal for the release of irrigation water from Almatti and Narayanpur dams to the Jurala project.

Earlier, ministers and several MLAs from the joint Mahabubnagar district met Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The meeting mainly discussed the water needs of the Jurala project.

After discussions with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, it was decided to hold consultations with the Karnataka government. As per this decision, the group of ministers will leave for Bengaluru this evening. The Telangana government hopes that the farmers of the Jurala ayacut will get adequate relief through these bilateral talks between the two states.
