Concerns over water allocation
A committee led by Meri Chairman Mandade has proposed a 7% cut in Jayakwadi Dam’s water supply for Marathwada, with only three Marathwada representatives in the nine-member panel. Industrialist Ramakant Pulkundwar called the decision unfair and urged political unity to oppose it.
