  "summary": "The Hindu reports that BRS Deputy Floor Leader T. Harish Rao has requested urgent intervention by the Centre to protect Telangana's water interests, citing the agenda for the August 18 meeting of the Godavari River Management Board (GRMB). Rao has urged Union Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil to direct the GRMB to withdraw agenda items 18.3.1, 18.3.6 and 18.3.11, which seek to reopen and review statutory approvals already granted to major irrigation projects in Telangana. The former minister emphasized that these projects have undergone comprehensive technical, hydrological, engineering, environmental and legal scrutiny, and that allowing the GRMB to revisit these decisions would create an institutional anomaly and undermine the authority of the Central Government's technical institutions.",
