Majhi, however, indicated that the prime minister has scheduled a meeting with the chief secretaries, secretaries of departments concerned and other senior officers without mentioning any specific date.

"I have no information about any meeting on Polavaram by the prime minister with chief ministers of four states. The prime minister may have a meeting with top officials of the states in which our chief secretary and department secretary will put forth the stand taken by Odisha. Whenever there will be a meeting with chief ministers, we will put forth our case keeping the state's interests at the top," Majhi told mediapersons.
