Supreme Court to Hear Tamil Nadu's Plea on Cauvery Water Release from Karnataka
The Supreme Court will hear Tamil Nadu's plea on August 13 seeking Karnataka's compliance with the Cauvery Water Management Authority's directive to release 3,500 cusecs of water daily for 15 days. Tamil Nadu alleges Karnataka has failed to release its due share despite sufficient reservoir storage, impacting farmers amid a rain-deficient year. The plea also requests Karnataka to compensate for accumulated shortfalls since June 1. The dispute involves political and legal tensions between the two states, with the DMK supporting Tamil Nadu's position.
