Andhra Pradesh revs up on ₹81,900-cr river link plan
New Delhi: Going full steam ahead on the ₹81,900 crore Polavaram-Banakacherla Link Project (PBLP) to supply water to Andhra Pradesh's arid regions, the Chandrababu Naidu government has fast-tracked all processes to get it moving at the earliest, and the Centre appears to be on board. Within days of the state government submitting its project proposal to the union environment ministry for environmental clearance , the latter's Expert Appraisal Committee for River Valley Projects is set to examine it for approval next week. Consider the timeline - the AP government prepared its mandatory pre-feasibility report for the project this month and submitted its proposal to the EAC by June 5. It was accepted on June 9 and now tops the agenda for the next meeting scheduled on June 17. The state has indicated that it hopes to commence construction by March 2026 and complete all works by May 2029. Chief minister Naidu, in fact, has been driving the project forward, holding a review just last week, where he directed that procedures to secure environmental clearances and Central Water Commission permissions be expedited immediately so that tenders can be finalised by the end of the month. The project also carries significant political implications. Live Events WATER POLITICS LOOM The Congress-ruled Telangana has already expressed strong opposition to the project, with state irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy recently writing to Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil and the Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) to raise concerns. The Revanth Reddy-led government has maintained that the project violates both the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014 and the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal Award of 1980. Concerns have also been raised about the project's impact on several regions, including the temple town of Bhadrachalam. Neighbouring Odisha - though BJP-ruled - may also see objections emerge; opposition BJD legislators raised the issue in the last assembly session. The Andhra Pradesh government, meanwhile, has informed the Centre that the PBLP is intended to make the state a ' drought-proof region ' by utilising only the floodwaters of the River Godavari. PROJECT PLAN According to the state's proposal, the project will divert surplus floodwaters from the Godavari basin (via the Polavaram Dam) to the state's deficit regions - particularly the water-stressed Rayalaseema districts . It is expected to provide drinking water for about 80 lakh people, 20 TMC of water for industries, and generate around 400 MW of power. The project will link the Godavari River (from Polavaram Dam) to the Banakacherla Regulator, transferring water via open canals, lift irrigation, underground pipelines, and two tunnels - 19.50 km and 6.60 km long - through the Nallamala hill range. Andhra Pradesh has claimed that hydrological studies show the Godavari River has a surplus of 90 to 120 days of water after fulfilling upstream and downstream riparian obligations.

SC: Let govt decide on security cover for Ambanis
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said it was for the Union and Maharashtra govts to analyse threat perception and decide the nature of security cover for country's top businessman Mukesh Ambani and his family members and warned a petitioner for repeatedly moving the SC for withdrawal/review of their Z+ security. "Can the Supreme Court decide who should be given what kind of security cover? Whether it is a private citizen, politician or any one for that matter, the govt will examine the threat perception and decide the security cover to be extended to the concerned," said a bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan. Petitioner Bikash Saha was warned by the bench that despite repeated rejection of his pleas on the same issue, he has again moved the SC. "We warn the petitioner against indulging in similar exercise in future. If he does, then the court will consider imposing exemplary cost on him," the bench said. "The petitioner has not produced any material to repudiate the threat perception to the Ambani family. The authorities concerned would continue to provide Z+ security cover as per the Feb 28, 2023, order of the SC," the bench said. –Dhananjay Mahapatra Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
