The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha has filed an application before the Supreme Court seeking to implead as a respondent in the case related to Tamil Nadu’s petition on August 14 seeking release of Cauvery water from Karnataka.
In the application filed by KRRS leader and MLA Darshan Puttannaiah, the farmers’ body has sought permission to file documents and affidavits before the court.
The KRRS said that people of Karnataka, who are dependent on Cauvery water, would be at peril and the life of farmers in the basin districts would be affected if the petition of Tamil Nadu seeking direction to Karnataka to release water is entertained by the court.
