Cauvery Panel

The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee's direction to Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu will be challenged before the Supreme Court, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday.

The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) on Monday reiterated the decision of the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee, asking Karnataka to continue releasing 5,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for another 15 days.

Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Saturday accused the Centre of having taken a "unilateral" decision in forming the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC), hurting the state's interests.

The government has sought 10 more days from the Supreme Court to set up the Cauvery Management Board, saying though its plans are ready, it needs "fine-tuning".

The Cauvery Supervisory Committee will adhere to the final order of Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) while deciding on the quantum of the river's water to be released as directed by the Supreme Court, a senior official has said.

The twin issues of a dam proposed by Kerala across Siruvani river and getting Cauvery water from Karnataka today found its echo in the Tamil Nadu Assembly today with DMK staging a walkout after demanding an all party panel and a House resolution over it as ruling AIADMK targeted the main Opposition party for "politicising" the issue.

The Supreme Court today ordered release of 2.44 TMC, or thousand million cubic feet, of Cauvery water from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu to irrigate the state's winter crops. The water sanctioned is based on the recommendations of an expert panel and far less than the 9 TMC demanded by Tamil Nadu.

The crucial meeting of the Cauvery Monitoring Committee (CMC) will take place in New Delhi today to bring about a consensus between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu over sharing of the waters of the Cauvery River.
