Tamil Nadu Seeks SC Intervention On Cauvery Issue With Karnataka

The Tamil Nadu government has recently stated that it would approach the Supreme Court in response to the unresolved matter of receiving its rightful allocation of Cauvery water from Karnataka.

This decision was reached after Karnataka declined to share water with Tamil Nadu during a session of the Cauvery Water Management Authority held in New Delhi.

Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan stated, “There is no other option but to move the Supreme Court. There is no situation in Karnataka that it has no water. Karnataka does not have the intention to share the water with Tamil Nadu. Those who are aware of the Cauvery’s history know that this is not a recent trend. It is unfortunate that Karnataka has been maintaining this stand since the beginning.”

The decision to release 15,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu was unanimously agreed upon during a session of the Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee on August 10. However, during the subsequent meeting of the Cauvery Water Management Authority in New Delhi on August 11, Karnataka stated that it would release only 8,000 cusecs of water, and that too on August 22.

Mr. Duraimurugan recalled the representations to these 2 forums requesting to ensure the share of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s letter to Union Minister of Jal Shakti reiterating the same and further charged, “it is unfortunate that these two forums have not come forward to discharge their functions promptly.”
