Karnataka Dam Project "Conspiracy" To Block Water Supply: Tamil Nadu
NDTV
Karnataka is planning to implement the Mekedatu project across river Cauvery, which Tamil Nadu says is a "conspiracy" to block flow of water to Tamil Nadu from catchment areas.
The Mekedatu dam initiative is a conspiracy to hinder water flow to Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister MK Stalin alleged today in a meet of all parties with MLAs in Tamil Nadu Assembly. The meeting condemned attempts by Karnataka to build the dam and urged the union government to not accord sanction for the proposal. The move to build reservoir went against the Supreme Court judgment and challenged the Constitution's majesty, a resolution adopted in the meet said and requested that no Central ministry related to the dam initiative should give its clearance. Chairing the meet, Chief Minister MK Stalin said a moot question was how Karnataka would provide Tamil Nadu its share of water if it was to build the Mekedatu dam when it was not releasing due share to TN even during normal times.More Related News
