  "account": "The Tamil Nadu All Farmers Organisation Coordination Committee expressed support for Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's stance on water sharing during recent discussions. Committee president P.R. Pandian praised the CM's assertion that resolving Inter-State water disputes through mutual trust, scientific data, and legal compliance would safeguard the interests of all riparian States while promoting cooperative federalism. Pandian urged the implementation of Supreme Court orders in the Mullaperiyar and Cauvery disputes by all involved states. He emphasized the imperative for the State government to pursue legal avenues until Tamil Nadu's rightful claims in the Cauvery and Mullaperiyar matters were secured.",
