Telangana moves Supreme Court with plea to restrain Andhra Pradesh on PBLP

Telangana government filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court, seeking to halt Andhra Pradesh's plans for the Polavaram-Banakacherla/Nallamalasagar Link Project (PBLP/PNLP). The petition argues that Andhra Pradesh's actions violate binding Tribunal Awards and the AP State Reorganisation Act. It also claims that Andhra Pradesh has proceeded with project expansions without necessary approvals, including pre-feasibility report submission to the Central Water Commission (CWC) despite CWC instructions against it. The petition seeks to prevent further action on the PBLP/PNLP and Polavaram expansion until a lawful inter-state complaint process is completed.
