Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 12 (ANI): Karnataka Congress MLA Dr Ranganath on Wednesday said the state government was facing a difficult situation over the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, following a tribunal direction to release around 12,000 cusecs of water for another 15 days. The Tribunal has given a verdict asking us to release around 12,000 cusecs of water for 15 more days, in spite of us already having given water," Ranganath said. "To my knowledge, I feel that Tamil Nadu is better placed in groundwater, and there is also a monsoon expected in the next two months for Tamil Nadu, which we are deprived of. His comments came amid continued political debate in Karnataka over the sharing of Cauvery water with Tamil Nadu. He also dismissed allegations being levelled by the BJP over the government's handling of the Cauvery water issue.
