Call for increased storage capacity in State
The Hindu
Surplus water discharged in the Kollidam will run off into sea
With Mettur Dam reaching its full capacity of 120 feet and almost the entire inflow from Karnataka being discharged into the Cauvery river downstream, over 40,000 cusecs of water was diverted into the Kollidam from Upper Anicut (Mukkombu) in Tiruchi district on Tuesday.
A major portion of the water will run off into the sea.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
