The Tamil Nadu government on Monday approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to Karnataka to release the state's due share of Cauvery water, accusing the neighbouring state of ignoring orders passed by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC).
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay directed the state government to move the apex court after Karnataka failed to comply with the water release schedule fixed by the two regulatory bodies, according to an official release.
