In response, the CWC notified both the states that there would be a meeting on 7th or 8th of July. Right now, water from Nagarjuna Sagar is being released to Delta as per CWC’s instructions, after a brief stoppage on Tuesday night. Telangana questioned the rationale behind the latest order to release water to Delta when the Sagar water is just at 515 feet against the dead storage of 510 ...

Telangana BJP unit did another exercise to express concern about the boycott of ABN and TV9 yesterday. It urged Governor E S L Narasimhan to take necessary measures for restoration of two Telugu channels — TV9 and ABN — which were blocked out by MSOs in the State.
