Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday urged southern states to explore joint solution for river water sharing issues.
In his address at the 30th southern zonal council meet held here and attended by chief ministers and Lieutenant Governors of southern states and union territories, he also asked Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to mutually resolve their pending issues, an official release here said.
