Panaji: The long-standing battle over the Mhadei River has intensified as the controversy over water diversion reaches a critical boiling point.
The dispute centers on the proposed diversion of water to the Malaprabha basin, a move Goa staunchly opposes to protect its fragile ecology and water security.
Recent developments have sparked fresh protests, with environmentalists and local leaders warning of irreversible damage to the Western Ghats.
While neighboring states push for developmental needs, Goa remains firm on safeguarding its lifeline, leading to a complex legal and political standoff that continues to dominate the regional discourse.
