Following the meeting, Telangana authorities had submitted a report to the CWC, highlighting the reasons for proposing to increase the barrage height from the initially agreed 148 meters to 152 meters above mean sea level. The reason for the increased height was discussed during the meeting. It was concluded that another meeting would be scheduled in three weeks' time to further discuss the matter.

Senior officials from both States participated in the proceedings, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts in addressing the concerns.
