Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay meets Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to press for additional water supplies for Chennai amid ongoing scarcity. Across the reports, the immediate focus is Krishna River water for Chennai, including steps to expedite releases under existing arrangements.
The outlets say the talks also cover broader inter-state water management, including discussion of the proposed Godavari–Krishna–Cauvery river-linking initiative. One report notes that under the 1983 Telugu Ganga agreement, deliveries of about 15 TMC are expected annually at the Tamil Nadu border, but lower storage levels in reservoirs such as Srisailam, Somasila and Kandaleru could lead to a partial release. Another report adds that Naidu does not give a firm commitment during the meeting, instead indicating Andhra Pradesh will consider the request based on water availability and state requirements.
