Madras High Court to Hear Challenge on Mekedatu Dam Assembly Resolution Amendment
The Madras High Court is set to hear a writ petition filed by AIADMK whip Agri S.S. Krishnamurthy challenging an amendment to a Tamil Nadu Assembly resolution against Karnataka's Mekedatu Dam project. The amendment, which called for a tribunal under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, was reportedly added without proper procedure, according to the petitioner. However, the Advocate General stated the amended resolution was moved by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, included after a request by Opposition Leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, and passed unanimously by the Assembly.
