New Delhi, Aug 10:Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear on August 13 a plea of the Tamil Nadu government seeking directions to the Karnataka government for immediate release of the share of Cauvery water to it.
The Joseph Vijay led-state government on August three approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to the Karnataka government for immediate release of the share of Cauvery water.
“Accordingly, the Cauvery Water Management Authority order allocating 4.536 TMC is very less,” the release added.
The CWMA has earlier upheld the CWRC’s recommendation of releasing 3,500 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for the next 15 days.
In 2018, the Centre constituted the CWMA to address the dispute over sharing of river water among Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry.
