"During the past three weeks, about four teams from our state collected recorded and documentary evidence on the irrigation projects the neighbouring state has been building in violation of the Bachchawat Tribunal award," he said.

"The same would be placed before the Prime Minister and Central Water Commission (CWC) members for their intervention and appropriate action", he said.

The state would also float irrigation bonds to net Rs 500 crore in a bid to complete the pending irrigation projects in the state, Srihari added.
