India's Home Minister Amit Shah will hold a meeting with the Chief Ministers of Odisha and Chhattisgarh to discuss the Mahanadi water row.
India’s Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to meet the Chief Ministers of Odisha and Chhattisgarh to address the long‑standing Mahanadi water dispute.
The meeting, set to take place in New Delhi, aims to find a mutually acceptable solution for water sharing from the Mahanadi River, which flows through both states.
Odisha and Chhattisgarh have been at odds over water allocation for years, with each state citing agricultural and industrial needs. The discussion will focus on legal frameworks, past agreements, and potential new arrangements.
Shah’s engagement underscores the central government’s role in mediating inter‑state water conflicts and reflects the broader national priority of ensuring equitable resource distribution.
Both state leaders are expected to outline their positions and propose concrete steps to resolve the dispute, with the hope of reaching a consensus before the upcoming monsoon season.
