Hyderabad: Telangana has begun internal consultations to finalise its agenda for the upcoming meeting with the Centre on the Krishna water dispute. The high-level talks, to be held on January 30 in New Delhi, will focus exclusively on issues related to Krishna river water sharing.
The Centre has constituted a 15-member expert committee to mediate the dispute, with Central Water Commission (CWC) Chairman Anupam Prasad heading the panel. Senior officials from both Telugu states and multiple central agencies will participate in the discussions.
The Telangana government is coordinating with irrigation department officials to narrow down the topics for deliberation. Sources indicate the state plans to limit the agenda to Krishna-specific matters to streamline the resolution process.

The committee will meet at the CWC office in Seva Bhawan, New Delhi. The Centre has instructed both states to submit all unresolved and contentious water management issues in advance for structured discussion.
With the deadline approaching, Telangana is conducting a series of meetings with top irrigation officials to refine its position. The state is reportedly being cautious in selecting agenda points to ensure a focused and productive outcome.
