Karnataka is examining legal options, including approaching the Supreme Court, after the Cauvery Water Management Authority upheld releasing 12,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days. The state said it would assess the order comprehensively before deciding further action
The Tamil Nadu government approached the Supreme Court, alleging Karnataka failed to release its due share of Cauvery water. Claiming the CWRC allocation was inadequate, the state sought directions to secure timely release of 26.954 TMC of water
Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai urged the state government not to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, citing low reservoir levels and drinking water needs. He also criticised Karnataka's representation before the Cauvery authorities and called for protecting farmers' interests.
