Agartala (Tripura), June 18, 2025 (ANI) : Tripura CM Manik Saha attended State- Wise Plantation Drive under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 Campaign at Maharani Tulsibati Girls’ H.S School, Agartala.Hyderabad, June 18, 2025 (ANI): The Godavari-Banakacherla Link Scheme is a massive project proposed by the Andhra Pradesh Government at an estimated cost of Rs 80,112 crore. The plan involves diverting 200 TMC of water from the Godavari river at Polavaram to Rayalaseema through the Bollapalli reservoir and Banakacherla head regulator. The proposal seeks to interlink the Godavari, Krishna, and Penna rivers. On the project, BRS leader K Kavitha said, "In the proposed river linking project of Godavari-Cauvery, Telangana will lose its water share because now Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu is trying to change the linkage point from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh region. We are severely objecting to it. Unfortunately, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy is not able to effectively stop this decision being made by the Central government. If the linkage point is shifted to Andhra Pradesh, half of the Telangana districts will be left parched. We will lose rights to the Godavari river water in the future."
