Telangana government would soon hold talks with Karnataka on taking up pending works of Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme (RDS) irrigation scheme in Mahabubnagar district.
"Telangana Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao has written a letter to his Karnataka counterpart M B Patil proposing talks between the two sides on RDS," an official release said.
The state is not able to provide water to 87,500 acres by availing 15.9 TMC water through RDS as per the tribunal award. The works proposed three years ago by the then undivided Andhra Pradesh government are still pending, Rao said.
