Hyderabad: Godavari nadi par apne adhikaron ko lekar Telangana sarkar ne Andhra Pradesh ke Polavaram expansion plan ke khilaf Supreme Court ka darwaza khatkhata diya hai. Andhra Pradesh dwara proposed Polavaram–Nallamala Sagar (ya Banakacharla link) project par rok lagane ki maang karte hue Telangana sarkar ne writ petition file ki hai, jo Somwar (kal) Supreme Court mein sunwai ke liye listed hai.
Is maamle mein Telangana ke Chief Minister Sri A. Revanth Reddy aur Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy ne Ravivar ko Mumbai mein senior Supreme Court advocate Dr. A.M. Singhvi se mulaqat ki. Meeting ke dauran CM aur Irrigation Minister ne legal team ko Telangana ke paksh mein majboot aur prabhavi dalilein pesh karne ke nirdesh diye. Saath hi, irrigation department ke adhikariyon ko sabhi zaroori documents aur saboot tayyar rakhne ke liye alert kiya gaya hai.
Telangana sarkar ki taraf se Supreme Court mein daayar writ petition mein kaha gaya hai ki Andhra Pradesh sarkar bina zaroori kanooni aur vaidh manzooriyon ke Polavaram project ko Nallamala Sagar ya Banakacharla se jodne ke liye expansion works kar rahi hai, jo poori tarah gair-kanuni hai. Petition mein Supreme Court se turant hastakshep karte hue Polavaram Project Authority ko in karyaon par rok lagane ke nirdesh dene ki maang ki gayi hai.
Petition mein spasht roop se kaha gaya hai ki Polavaram project ko sirf originally approved design ke mutabik hi lagu kiya ja sakta hai. Iske alawa kisi bhi tarah ka expansion ya modification kanoon ke daayre mein nahi aata. Telangana ne is baat par bhi aitraaz jataya hai ki Central Government Nallamala Sagar project ke pre-feasibility reports ko Telangana ke objections ko nazarandaz karke examine kar rahi hai.
Telangana sarkar ne Supreme Court se anurodh kiya hai ki Central Water Commission (CWC), Ministry of Jal Shakti, aur Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) ko spasht nirdesh jaari kiye jaayen, taaki bina sahmati aur anumati ke kisi bhi prakaar ke project aage na badh sakein.
Petition mein yeh bhi kaha gaya hai ki Andhra Pradesh sarkar CWC guidelines ka ullanghan karte hue Detailed Project Report (DPR) tayyar kar rahi hai. Is par turant rok lagane, environmental clearances na dene, aur Kendriya Sarkar dwara kisi bhi tarah ki financial assistance na diye jaane ki bhi maang ki gayi hai.
Telangana sarkar ne do-took shabdon mein kaha hai ki Godavari ke paani par rajya ke adhikaron se koi samjhauta nahi hoga, aur is maamle ko kanooni taur par aakhri had tak le jaya jayega.
