Tamil Nadu CM Tells Assembly He Won't Allow Mekedatu Dam Construction

News 18  

Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Tuesday assured the Tamil Nadu Assembly that the state government would not allow construction of a reservoir across river Cauvery at Mekedatu in Karnataka. Karnataka's repeated bid to bring up the Mekedatu proposal for discussion in the Cauvery Water Management Authority was halted given staunch opposition from Tamil Nadu, he said. According to the draft Terms of Reference of the proposal, the Mekedatu Balancing Reservoir and drinking water Project involves construction of a balancing reservoir across river Cauvery near Mekedatu in Karnataka. Tamil Nadu had all along strongly opposed the project and approached the Supreme Court as well saying any dam proposal by upper riparian states in the Cauvery basin would deprive the state's delta farmers of their rightful share of water as per the apex court verdict.
