Karnataka Tamil Nadu Dispute

"The Mekedatu issue is a 125-year-old dispute and it can't be resolved in one night," Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy said.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said the Karnataka government was ready to release 8,000 cusecs of water from the Cauvery river every day to neighbouring Tamil Nadu instead of one TMC as directed by the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday dismissed as a lie the opposition BJP's charge that Cauvery water is being released to Tamil Nadu even though Bengaluru is reeling under an acute water crisis.

Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Saturday lamented that injustice has been meted out to Karnataka and only Narendra Modi, "who is set to become Prime Minister again" can solve the Cauvery water problem.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has expressed the state's inability to release water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu as directed by the CWRC, saying it does not have adequate water in its Cauvery basin.

The former PM said that all the state units of the JD(S) including Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Kerala had given their consent to go with the BJP.

Tamil Nadu Assembly on Monday passed a resolution unanimously urging the Centre to direct the Karnataka Government to release water to Tamil Nadu as per the directions of the Cauvery Water Management Authority.

Amid the tussle over the Cauvery water-sharing issue between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Congress MP P Chidambaram on Saturday said there is a commission to judge the issue and both States have to act on the Commission's decision.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said a review petition was filed before the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) over its order asking the state to release 3,000 cusecs of water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

Days after the Karnataka government released Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu, a state-wide bandh was called in the state today.

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 Supreme Court's refusal to interfere with an order telling Karnataka to release 5,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days has sparked protests in the former state.

Farmers in Trichy engaged in an unexpected way as a token of protest against Karnataka and the central government demanding Cauvery water release from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu.

Calls for protests over a longstanding river water sharing dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have forced global firms including Walmart and Google to ask employees in Bengaluru to work from home on Tuesday.

DMK Rajya Sabha member Tiruchi Siva on Sunday said that the Tamil Nadu government is seeking the Central government's support to settle the ongoing Cauvery dispute with Karnataka amicably.
