Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Government Friday said it was not satisfied with the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal verdict on sharing of surplus water with neighbouring Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Major Irrigation Minister P. Sudarshan Reddy had Thursday said that the government would file an appeal before the tribunal in three months and seek clarifications.
Opposition Party TDP urged the state government to take an-all party delegation to New Delhi to complain to the central government about the injustice done to the state.
Naidu said the state had suffered due to lack of a comprehensive national river water-sharing policy and the indifferent attitude of the state government.
Former minister and the committee member M. Buddhaprasad told reporters in Vijayawada that the region would badly suffer as the tribunal had permitted Karnataka to raise the height of the Almatti dam.
The tribunal has given Andhra Pradesh a share of 1,001 tmc ft, Karnataka 911 tmc ft and Maharashtra 666 tmc ft.
Andhra Pradesh was earlier allowed to use the entire surplus water but under the new tribunal, it has been distributed among three states, said Buddhaprasad.
The river Krishna originates at Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra and passes through Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka on its 1,300-km journey to the Bay of Bengal.
