Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Disagree Over Cauvery River Water Sharing
The Tamil Nadu government has criticized Karnataka’s decision to release only 8,000 cusecs of Cauvery River water instead of the agreed one thousand million cubic metres. An all-party meeting in Tamil Nadu will be held to discuss the issue.
Karnataka’s Decision
Karnataka’s decision followed their own all-party meeting, where leaders, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, decided to appeal to the court and release a reduced amount of water due to current conditions.
Importance of the Cauvery River
The Cauvery River is crucial for both states, which have a long-standing dispute over its waters.
