Bommai leads BJP delegation to KRS, asks govt. to stop release of water to T.N.

The Hindu  

The former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai led a delegation of BJP leaders to KRS reservoir near here to examine the “ground situation” and appealed to the State government to immediately stop releasing water to Tamil Nadu. Expressing concern over the depleted water level in the reservoir, Mr. Bommai warned the government that people of the State may face a shortage of drinking water in the coming days if water is continued to be released to Tamil Nadu. Had Karnataka refused to release water till the Supreme Court heard the case and delivered a direction, the State would have saved 15 to 20 tmcft of water, Mr. Bommai said. The former Minister R. Ashoka, who was also present in the delegation, alleged that the State government was releasing water to Tamil Nadu “clandestinely” at night, thereby cheating the farmers of Cauvery basin.
