Supreme Court to Hear Tamil Nadu's Plea on Cauvery Water Release from Karnataka
The Supreme Court is set to hear Tamil Nadu's plea seeking Karnataka's compliance with Cauvery water-sharing directives on August 17. Tamil Nadu alleges Karnataka is releasing less water than allocated despite sufficient reservoir levels, while Karnataka contends it is meeting obligations. The court directed Karnataka to comply and will review the situation after a week. Both states have presented their positions amid ongoing disputes over water release and management by the Cauvery Water Management Authority.
