SC directs Karnataka to comply, waits a week to assess Cauvery water releases
The bench was hearing Tamil Nadu’s plea seeking implementation of the CWMA’s decision directing Karnataka to release water to the state
The Supreme Court directed Karnataka to comply with the Cauvery Water Management Authority's (CWMA) instructions on releasing water to Tamil Nadu, while waiting a week to assess whether the state continues to honor the water-sharing order. CWMA's decision requires Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu, but Tamil Nadu claims Karnataka is not complying.
Karnataka disputes Tamil Nadu's allegation, stating it has complied with the CWMA's earlier direction to release 3,500 cusecs a day and has exceeded it. The bench will reassess the situation on August 2, after receiving an update on Karnataka's water releases.
