💨 Abstract

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM Shivakumar met Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Patil to seek approval for the Mekedatu and Upper Bhadra irrigation projects. The projects aim to transform agricultural landscape and support drought-prone areas but face challenges such as funding issues and inter-state disputes, including opposition from Tamil Nadu.
