Tamil Nadu moves Supreme Court over Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka
Tamil Nadu filed a petition in the Supreme Court to resolve the Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka.
Tamil Nadu's move follows Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar's remarks that the Mekedatu reservoir would benefit Tamil Nadu by 90%.
The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee ordered Karnataka to release 3,500 cusecs at Biligundlu from July 29 to August 12.
Actual water received at Biligundulu between July 29 and August 2 was between 158 and 550 cusecs per second.
Tamil Nadu has opposed the Mekedatu reservoir project, with the TVK government passing a resolution against it in June 2026.
