Supreme Court to Hear Tamil Nadu Plea for Cauvery Water Release from Karnataka
The Supreme Court will hear Tamil Nadu's plea on August 13 seeking Karnataka's immediate release of its Cauvery water share. Tamil Nadu, led by Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, argues it is not receiving its due allocation, especially during a rain-deficient year, citing decisions by the Cauvery Water Management Authority. Karnataka has been criticized for releasing less water than directed. The court's bench, including Chief Justice Surya Kant, acknowledged the dispute's urgency amid ongoing water-sharing tensions between the states.
