TNI Bureau: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi sought for an amicable resolution of Mahanadi water dispute with Chhattisgarh.
In a high-level meeting held at Lok Seva Bhawan yesterday, Majhi while emphasizing on amicable resolution of the Mahanadi water dispute with the neighbouring state said that since the efforts being made to resolve the problem in the Central Water Commission are progressing slowly, this problem can be resolved through amicable discussions between the two states with the support of the Central Government.
The Central Water Commission can provide technical cooperation to sort out the disputes between the two states and enhance good relations between them.
