Direct Karnataka to release backlog of 17.604 tmcft Cauvery water: T.N. to Supreme Court
Tamil Nadu has approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to Karnataka to release a backlog of 17.604 tmcft of Cauvery water, alleging that the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) and Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) failed to account for the accumulated deficit. The state argues that delta farmers are severely affected due to non-receipt of their rightful share. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the matter on August 31. This inter-state water dispute remains a critical issue for federalism and resource-sharing questions in competitive exams.
