Help set up panel to settle water dispute between TN, K’taka, SC directs Centre

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi The Supreme Court was hearing a suit filed by the Tamil Nadu government against the Karnataka government challenging the alleged diversion of water from the Pennaiyar river for various purposes. The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre to help the warring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to settle their inter-state water dispute with regard to Pennaiyar river by setting up a negotiation committee to facilitate talks and directed the committee to submit a report to the Centre within three months. A bench of justices Hrishikesh Roy and PK Mishra passed the order after the Centre informed the Court that soon after the Congress government took charge in Karnataka last year, the Ministry of Jal Shakti received a letter from Karnataka’s deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar in June last year indicating that the state government was keen to have talks with the Tamil Nadu government with a view to resolve the outstanding issue. The bench said, “We deem it appropriate to direct the Ministry of Jal Shakti to constitute a fresh negotiation committee under the Inter State River Water Disputes Act, 1956 and endeavour to reach a negotiated settlement of the inter-state water dispute over Pennaiyar river.” Further, the order said, “The Committee should furnish a preliminary report to the Union of India within three months on the outcome of this exercise.” The Court was hearing a suit filed by the Tamil Nadu government against the Karnataka government challenging the alleged diversion of water from the Pennaiyar river for various purposes including construction of a reservoir across Markandeyanadhi project for drinking water purposes, diversion of surplus waters of Varthur tank, lift irrigation scheme at Ellamallappa and pumping scheme at villages Belahalli and Thattanur villages.
