High-level talks in New Delhi, chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and attended by Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, have pushed the long-standing Mahanadi water dispute into its final stage.
With 'double-engine' governments fostering positive collaboration, discussions are centered on critical priorities like agricultural irrigation, drinking water supply, flood control, and environmental protection. Guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, technical experts and Chief Secretaries are actively finalizing data through the Central Water Commission.
Officials anticipate that a permanent settlement will be reached within the month, establishing a collaborative benchmark for inter-state water dispute resolution across India.
