Andhra Pradesh CM seeks central funding for Polavaram and Jal Jeevan Mission

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu met with Union Jal Shakti Minister C. R. Patil in New Delhi to advocate for the timely release of funds for critical water infrastructure projects.

Naidu highlighted the progress of the Polavaram project and the Jal Jeevan Mission-Amarajeevi Jaladhara works, the latter of which involves recent expenditures of Rs 30,000 crore. The Chief Minister expressed the state's goal to complete the Polavaram project in time for the Godavari Pushkarams next year.

Additionally, Naidu addressed inter-state challenges involving Odisha and Chhattisgarh. He requested the permanent withdrawal of a Stop Work Order from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change regarding protective embankments. To resolve these issues, he proposed a meeting between the Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh, chaired by the Union Ministry of Jal Shakti.
