Tamil Manila Congress president urges DMK government to secure Tamil Nadu's share of Cauvery water from Karnataka.
Tamil Manila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, urged the ruling DMK government to take immediate steps to ensure that the State gets its due share of Cauvery water from Karnataka .
In a statement, Mr. Vasan said the Karnataka government should act in accordance with the orders of the Supreme Court of India and the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) in releasing the due share of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
“What is stopping the ruling DMK government from negotiating with the Congress government in Karnataka to get Tamil Nadu’s share of Cauvery water?” he asked.
The CWMA had ordered the Karnataka government to release 7.236 tmc ft of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu in June, and 31.24 tmc ft in July. However, the water realisation for this month was nearly 5.376 tmc ft lower. The delay in releasing Cauvery water by the Karnataka government has created a water scarcity in Tamil Nadu for drinking and irrigation purposes, he pointed out.
The State government should immediately take steps to get Tamil Nadu’s share of Cauvery water, Mr. Vasan added.
