Call for Joint Study on Krishna River Pollution

Call for Joint Study on Krishna River Pollution

The Krishna River in parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is polluted, with a thick layer of pollutants on the water's surface, turning it greenish and releasing a bad smell.

This has been happening for over a month, and people are worried.

The pollution might be coming from factories that are releasing dirty water without treating it.

The Pulichintala project, which gets water from the Nagarjuna Sagar project and parts of Telangana, is also affected.

Both states have tested the water, and it seems to be within safe limits.

However, they want to work together to find out where the pollution is coming from and stop it.

They also want to punish those responsible.

The water is still safe for farming and drinking, as it will be treated before being given to people.
