Tamil Nadu says Andhra Pradesh’s check-dam proposal across Palar river goes against federalism, amounts to contempt of court

The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu’s Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, said that Andhra Pradesh’s proposal to construct a check-dam across the Palar river went against the ideal of federalism, and was not acceptable in the friendship between the two States. Recalling the Tamil Nadu government’s litigation moved in the Supreme Court in 2006, when Andhra attempted to construct a dam at Ganesapuram in Chittoor district, he said that the final hearing of the case was about to be given. Another case has been moved in the Supreme Court opposing Andhra Pradesh’s attempt to increase the height of the existing check-dam across the Palar and this too, is pending before the apex court, he said. “When two cases are pending before the Supreme Court, the Andhra Pradesh government’s attempting to construct a dam across Palar and allocating funds for the project, should be considered contempt of the court,” Mr. Duraimurugan said.
