Supreme Court Suggests Mediation in Polavaram Dispute Between Telangana & Andhra Pradesh

The Supreme Court has suggested mediation to resolve the inter-state dispute between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh over alleged expansion works linked to the Polavaram irrigation project. 

Hearing Telangana’s plea to halt works allegedly carried out without statutory approvals, the Bench declined interim relief and questioned the petition’s maintainability.

The Court noted that no additions to the Central project can be made without Centre’s approval and advised the State to approach the expert committee.
