CM Revanth Reddy Urges Centre to Clear Metro Phase 2, Godavari Water Talks and Major Telangana Projects Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to expedite key projects and resolve the long-standing dispute over the Godavari water allocation. In a meeting with Modi in Delhi, Reddy emphasized that the state’s future water needs are critically dependent on the utilization of Godavari river resources. He highlighted the importance of the Tummidi Barrage project, which is part of the Pranahita-Chevella project, and urged the central government to facilitate discussions with Maharashtra to resolve the dispute over the barrage’s height. Reddy noted that the state’s agricultural and domestic water requirements are increasingly strained, necessitating efficient use of Godavari waters. He reiterated that Maharashtra’s reluctance to engage in talks has caused significant delays, with the state’s farmers and citizens bearing the brunt of the stalemate. Reddy also mentioned that he had previously sent multiple letters to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, but the latter has not responded, leading to frustration among Telangana’s stakeholders. In addition to the water issue, Reddy sought the central government’s approval for several infrastructure projects. He requested the clearance for the Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 expansion, which includes 122.9 km of new lines across seven corridors at a cost of ₹38,595 crore. The project is proposed as a joint venture between the central and state governments, with the state ready to contribute 50% of the land acquisition costs for the northern corridor.#prime_minister_narendra_modi #maharashtra_chief_minister_devendra_fadnavis #telangana_chief_minister_revanth_reddy #hyderabad_metro_phase_2 #hyderabad_bangalore_expressway
