Supreme Court to Hear Karnataka's Appeal on Cauvery Water Release to Tamil Nadu
Karnataka's appeal against the Cauvery Water Management Authority's directive to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water daily to Tamil Nadu will be heard by the Supreme Court on September 14. Despite acute water shortages, Karnataka continues releasing water based on legal advice to avoid jeopardizing its petition. The state government claims this year's release is the lowest in two decades and emphasizes protecting farmers' interests while seeking a permanent solution through political lobbying and legal channels.
