TNCC president asks Karnataka government to respect Cauvery Water Management Authority order
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president B. Manickam Tagore has appealed to the Congress government in Karnataka to honor the Cauvery Water Management Authority's order and release the full 3,000 cusecs of water daily to Biligundulu, as per the Supreme Court petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government. In a statement, Mr. Tagore emphasized the need to safeguard the livelihood of Tamil Nadu's Delta farmers and protect the Samba crops that sustain them.
He stressed that the Karnataka government has a legal obligation to provide water without obstruction, according to the Cauvery Water Management Authority's order. Despite the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee and the Cauvery Water Management Authority ordering the release of 3,000 cusecs of water per day until November 6, a shortfall of 3,851 cusecs at Biligundulu during the initial days has caused anxiety among Delta farmers.
Tagore urged all parties to fully respect and adhere to the Supreme Court's judgments and the Cauvery Water Management Authority's directives.
