Cauvery water row | Karnataka to consult legal experts on Cauvery Water Management Authority directive

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said in Mysuru on Tuesday that the State would discuss with legal experts the latest directives by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to release water at the rate of 5,000 cusecs per day for the next 15 days to Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, farmers’ groups in Mandya continued to demand that Karnataka should not release water, considering that their crops were drying up without water.

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Shivakumar was cautious in his reply to the queries and said he and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would hold discussions with the legal team on Tuesday night itself to chalk the next course of action.
