PMK Opposes New Tribunal Proposal on Mekedatu Dam, Urges TN Government to Withdraw
PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss has opposed the Tamil Nadu Assembly's resolution seeking a new tribunal to address the Mekedatu dam dispute with Karnataka. He argued that existing legal rulings, including those by the Cauvery Tribunal and Supreme Court, favor Tamil Nadu and require Karnataka to obtain consent before new constructions. Ramadoss urged the Tamil Nadu government to withdraw the tribunal demand, warning it could jeopardize the state's legal rights and benefit Karnataka, while emphasizing continued political and legal efforts to protect Tamil Nadu's interests.
