Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday directed officials to make effective submissions in the Supreme Court to secure the state's share of Krishna River waters and present all evidence in the dispute with Andhra Pradesh. The case is expected to be heard after 18 November. At a review meeting attended by Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and senior advocate C.S. Vaidyanathan, the CM ordered expedited work on the Dindi and Achampet lift irrigation schemes and the release of 0.6 tmc ft of water from Narlapur to Edula. On the proposed additional 1 tmc ft works under the Kaleshwaram project, he cautioned against hasty decisions, saying mistakes of the previous government must not be repeated. The CM directed officials to review pending Supreme Court cases on Kaleshwaram and obtain all clearances from the Central Water Commission before proceeding.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both The Hindu and Deccan Chronicle report the same facts from the CM's meeting, giving nearly identical accounts of his directions on Krishna waters, Dindi, Achampet and Kaleshwaram. The only difference is that Deccan Chronicle names the previous government as 'BRS' while The Hindu avoids naming it, referring only to 'the previous government'. This is a minor stylistic choice and does not affect the neutral-report stance of either outlet. The coverage is uniform straight reporting on a routine administrative review.
