Supreme Court Directs Tamil Nadu to Approach CWMA Over Cauvery Water Dispute
The Supreme Court directed Tamil Nadu to address its concerns about Karnataka's Cauvery water release with the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA). While Karnataka stated it complied with CWMA's directives, Tamil Nadu disputed the adequacy of the water released. The court noted Karnataka's compliance but asked Tamil Nadu to raise its grievance with the CWMA. The issue will be revisited on August 31. Tamil Nadu seeks enforcement of CWMA's order for Karnataka to release 3,500 cusecs daily for 15 days.
