Supreme Court Declines Fresh Plea on Cauvery River Water Allocation Dispute
The Supreme Court declined to hear a new petition on Cauvery river water allocation, noting the dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka is already under contest. Karnataka stated it had released excess water to Tamil Nadu by August 31, complying with Cauvery Water Management Authority directives to maintain a flow of 9,000 cusecs. Tamil Nadu has raised concerns about not receiving its full share amid a rain-deficient year. The court emphasized avoiding multiple petitions in ongoing inter-state disputes.
