Since Karnataka is refusing to release Cauvery water, and is also determined to construct a dam at Mekedatu, all four major dams in Karnataka should be brought under the control of the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) and the Tamil Nadu government should move the Supreme Court to obtain an order in this regard, said PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss, on Monday.
Addressing the media, he said despite the orders from the Supreme Court, the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) and the CWMA, Karnataka was refusing to release water to T.N. “This is an unwarranted [act], and we strongly condemn it,” he said and added that rivers in Chandigarh, Haryana and Punjab were under the control of the water management authorities in these respective States.
