Telangana seeks fresh Polavaram impact study
The Telangana government requested the Supreme Court to look into issuing orders to parties concerned for a new environmental impact assessment of the Polavaram Project located in AP. The government contended that safety of people, livestock and environment in Telangana needed to be considered.
The environmental clearance to the project was granted by the Central government in 2005, considering 36 lakh cusecs as maximum flood discharge. However, the maximum flood discharge has undergone significant changes, now estimated at 50 lakh cusecs, due to changed dam design parameters, it noted. The State government, represented by Principal Secretary to GAD, K Ramakrishna, recently filed a counter affidavit in a petition filed by TS Congress leader Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, seeking directions to authorities concerned to take action on representations made by him for implementation of provisions of the AP Reorganization Act, 2014 enacted by the Union of India. The matter is expected to come up for hearing next month.
