According to Rajya Sabha MP Luizinho Faleiro, the center’s decision to give Karnataka’s DPR the NOC for the Kalasa-Bhandura water project is illegitimate, a betrayal of the people of Goa, and shows disrespect for the Rajya Sabha.
He has said that it is necessary to study the effects of transporting Mahadayi water to Malaprabha and to develop specific strategies with the active involvement of all three states.
In addition, he claimed that he raised the Mhadei matter at least four times in the Rajya Sabha.
The subject needs to be investigated, the Union Minister for Jal Shakti stated during the response, and they gave a deadline of August 2023. Therefore, the center’s decision to issue a NOC is Illegal, he continued.
