The Chief Ministers of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana on Thursday discussed resolving the water sharing issue between their states amicably, and decided to find a permanent solution to the water crisis with the involvement of Union Minister for Jal Shakti CR Patil.

The trio met with Patil during the inauguration of the newly installed 33 spillway gates of Tungabhadra Dam on Thursday.

The CMs have agreed that whatever is decided by the Centre, and whatever arrangements already exist, should ensure that no state suffers injustice, Patil said.
