Why it matters
Water scarcity remains a major point of contention between Indian states, impacting urban water security and inter-state political relations.
The supply of Krishna river water to Chennai under the Telugu Ganga Project is expected to figure prominently in the meeting between Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in Vijayawada on Tuesday (October 13, 2026). The two States are grappling with water-sharing commitments amid depleted reservoir storage.
Mr. Vijay’s visit marks his first trip to Andhra Pradesh since assuming office as Chief Minister. Though the official agenda includes the proposed Godavari-Krishna-Cauvery river-linking project , the immediate concern for Tamil Nadu is the shortfall in drinking water supplies to Chennai.
