Karnataka-tamil Nadu

Protests erupted in various parts of Cauvery river basin districts of Karnataka after Supreme Court refused to interfere with orders of Cauvery Water Management Authority's directing the state to release 5,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu.

The Centre has decided to call a meeting of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu chief ministers soon to resolve the issue regarding the proposed construction of Mekedatu dam across the Cauvery river that led to stalling of Parliament proceedings last week.

After Karnataka was asked by the Supreme Court to explain its repeated defiance of orders, it released some water from the River Cauvery to neighbouring Tamil Nadu late on Monday night. The court will hear the case today.

Moments after a train from Bengaluru to Chennai was today halted by pulling an emergency chain, thieves snatched away gold chains, weighing about 17.5 sovereigns, from four women passengers, police said.
