Irrigation minister T Harish Rao on Friday called up his Karnataka counterpart MB Patil, requesting him to AP’s objection to the Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme (RDS) works and that the Karnataka government should continue the works.

Harish Rao informed Mr Patil that the AP’s objections were uncalled for and that the government should complete the RDS works at the earliest ensuring waters allocated to TS as per the Bachawat Award. Mr Patil reportedly responded to consider the request.
