      Andhra Pradesh asks KRMB for exclusion of flood time water drawls; Telangana opposes

      The authorities in Telangana are strongly opposing the situation. During the September 2024 floods, Andhra Pradesh received a significant portion of inflows into the Srisailam project, with the Pothireddypadu head regulator accounting for over 110 TMC. Andhra Pradesh’s ample storage facilities enable it to begin irrigation schedules early, using water beyond the Krishna basin. Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh has requested the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) not to consider the water drawn during flood times as part of its allocated water share.

      Opinion: Falsehood trumps limping truth

      Monopolisation of social media and other digital platforms is empowering right-wing forces to control the world Propaganda, misinformation and fake news are nothing new in our society. It can be traced back to the time of Mahabharata when Yudhisthir, known for his unwavering truthfulness, misled Drona by declaring that Ashwathama was killed but murmured the latter part, “I do not know if it is a man or an elephant,” so softly that Drona could not hear it clearly. Believing Yudhisthir that his warrior son Ashwathama was killed, Drona bowed his head and was beheaded. Drona was one of the epical victims of fake news or disinformation. Propaganda and misinformation have taken a new turn now with the widespread availability of…
