Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy directed officials to protect Telangana's share of Tungabhadra river water.
The strategy includes modernizing the Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme (RDS) and accelerating the Tummilla lift irrigation project.
Officials highlighted issues such as siltation, unauthorized water diversions, and aging infrastructure impacting the RDS.
Telangana plans to present a robust legal and technical argument before tribunals and water boards.
