The Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been served with a fresh notice by the court concerning the Medigadda Barrage case.
The Telangana High Court has issued a new notice to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in the ongoing Medigadda Barrage case, demanding his response to pending legal questions.
The notice, dated this week, seeks clarification on the state’s involvement in the construction and management of the Medigadda Barrage, a key water infrastructure project on the Krishna River.
Earlier, the court had called for a hearing on the project’s environmental and water‑sharing implications. The CM’s office has yet to file a formal reply, and the notice is expected to prompt a new hearing.
The Medigadda Barrage has been a focal point of water‑sharing disputes between Telangana and neighboring states, making the court’s demand a significant development for the region’s water policy.
Law experts say the notice could lead to a broader examination of the state’s compliance with national water regulations and may influence future infrastructure approvals.
