Chhattisgarh CM says Mahanadi water dispute likely to be resolved soon

Chhattisgarh's Chief Minister indicated that the longstanding dispute over Mahanadi water sharing is moving towards resolution. The disagreement has persisted for over a decade, with Odisha opposing the construction of barrages by Chhattisgarh in the river.

The Mahanadi flows through both states, making equitable water distribution a contentious issue. Odisha has raised concerns about how the barrages affect water availability and irrigation in its territory.
