Telangana government has filed a complaint with Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) against Andhra Pradesh government for allegedly meddling with the telemetry equipment installed at Pothireddypadu head regulator in Kurnool district.

Engineer-in-chief C. Muralidhar on the instructions of Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao lodged a complaint alleging the tampering of regulator in such a way that meter no longer shows the actual water taken by AP. The telemetry system was tampered with the help of the agency Mechactronics Systems Private Limited and all the previously calibrated recorded data was wiped out and new data was loaded into the system.

Harish Rao reviewed the situation and asked the KRMB board to immediately convene an emergency meeting, which was reportedly accepted.
