BJD raises concern over unilateral progress of Polavaram Project by AP Government

Bhubaneswar, May 20 (UNI) Senior Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Debi Mishra on Tuesday expressed serious concern over the continued violations and unilateral progress of the Polavaram Project by the Andhra Pradesh Government, allegedly with active support from the Centre.
Addressing a press conference in Bhubaneswar, Mishra emphasized that Odisha’s interests—particularly those of tribal communities in Malkangiri—must not be compromised.
He noted that the Polavaram Project, which was originally approved in 2006 with a discharge capacity of 36 lakh cusecs, was later unilaterally revised to 56 lakh cusecs. This, he said, was a clear violation of the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal (GWDT) recommendations.
