Karnataka Rejects Maharashtra's Almatti Dam Height Concerns

Karnataka Rejects Maharashtra's Almatti Dam Height Concerns

Maharashtra is worried that if Karnataka raises the height of the Almatti Dam, it could cause more flooding.

But, a Karnataka Minister says that this argument has already been checked by the courts and found not to be true.

The Minister suggests Maharashtra's concerns are for political reasons and that there were floods in the region before the dam existed.

Karnataka plans to reply to Maharashtra's worries and protect its water rights.
