The government asked the KRMB to stop AP from diverting Krishna water outside the

basin till the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II (Brijesh Kumar tribunal) finalizes the Shares of water and also stop the construction activity taken up in violation ofAP Reorganization Act, 2014.

scarcity of water. It is highly objectionable and does not stand to any logic or principles.
