Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, legal experts, technical experts and principal advisor (water resources) held a meeting to take precautionary steps in the wake of Telangana government's petition, Water Resources Minister M B Patil told reporters here. A Telangana government delegation on July 14 had met Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti and asked for reconstitution of the Tribunal to look into fresh reallocation of Krishna river water among the four riparian states - Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
