Cuttack: Speaking about the ongoing Mahanadi water dispute between Odisha and Chhattisgarh, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad during his Odisha visit on Sunday said that both the state should resolve the issue amicably and reach a consensus after holding discussions.
“It is the duty of the Union government to sort out the Mahanadi issue with mutual understanding between two states. The Mahanadi issue should not become an issue to fight. It would be better if both the states resolve the issue by talks rather than resort to blame game. If it doesn’t happen, then we will consider the Tribunal formation, which is a legal process,” said Ravi Shankar while speaking to newsmen.
He attended the foundation stone laying ceremony for the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) building in Cuttack in the presence of Supreme Court Chief Justice Dipak Mishra and Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
“In 2016, 126 HC judges were appointed. Similarly, 106 judges have been recruited in courts so far and the process is on,” the Union Law Minister said on filling up vacancies for judge post in High Courts.
Earlier in the day, he visited Lingaraj Temple.
