K’taka govt to appeal against order directing release of Cauvery water to TNNew Delhi/Bengaluru: Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Wednesday said the Karnataka government would appeal against the order directing the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, asserting that the state was facing an inadequate monsoon and that the “rain god Varuna has not shown mercy” on Karnataka this year. “The Cauvery Water Regulatory Authority (CWRA) had twice rejected Tamil Nadu’s demand earlier. The Chief Minister said the state’s Advocate General, legal experts and government officials were examining whether to move the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) or approach the Supreme Court for immediate relief. He said policing in Delhi falls under the Union government’s jurisdiction and called upon the Union Home Minister to provide clarification.
