Saying that the BJP government in the State would not back out of the Mekedatu drinking water project across the river Cauvery, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Sunday that Karnataka would implement the project despite opposition from neighbouring States. “The State government is awaiting the approval of the Centre for the Detailed Project Report on the Mekedatu drinking water project to utilise the additional water allocated by the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal and Supreme Court,” he said in his Independence Day address after hoisting the tri-colour in Bengaluru. “We will implement the Mekedatu project despite opposition from the neighbouring States. Our government will not back off from this project, which is necessary for drinking water and power generation.”More Related News
