Hyderabad CM Seeks Assembly Session on Water Crisis

Hyderabad Chief Minister Revanth has requested a special session of the state assembly to address water shortages exacerbated by the El Niño phenomenon and the Kaleshwaram and Godavari, Pranahita irrigation projects. The session aims to review water allocation plans and assess the impact of reduced rainfall on agricultural productivity. The CM has highlighted the need for immediate action to prevent crop failure and to secure water for drinking and industrial use across the state.

Farmers in the affected districts have expressed concern over the potential loss of irrigation water, while industry representatives fear disruptions to water‑intensive processes. The assembly session will involve experts from the irrigation department, the meteorological agency, and the state water board. The discussion will also cover the possibility of diverting water from alternative sources and the financial implications for the state budget.

The outcome of the session could lead to a reallocation of water resources, altering irrigation patterns and influencing the state’s agricultural output. It may also prompt the government to invest in new water‑storage infrastructure or to adopt more efficient irrigation technologies. The decisions taken will shape the region’s resilience to climate variability and could affect the livelihoods of millions of farmers over the next twelve months.
