Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has appealed to Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil to intervene regarding Karnataka’s plan to raise the height of the Almatti Dam on the Krishna River from the current 519.6 meters to the Reduced Level (RL) 524.256 meters. Fadnavis expressed serious concerns that this rise would significantly worsen flooding in the Maharashtra districts of Sangli and Kolhapur, impacting thousands of residents and agricultural lands.
