TN Assembly passes resolution to prevent Karnataka from building dam in Mekedatu

India Today  

A furore of condemnation was recorded in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Monday, March 21, against the Karnataka government’s decision to allocate funds for building a dam at Mekedatu over river Cauvery. This was done without acquiring permission from the concerned states or the Centre and also not adhering to the Supreme Court’s or Cauvery Water Tribunal’s orders. As a result, a resolution was passed in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, providing support to all decisions taken to stop the Karnataka Government and protect the interest of Tamil Nadu farmers. TN water resources minister Durai Murugan stated that Tamil Nadu was in a state where it had to plead for water.
