Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that Karnataka will file a suitable reply to the Tamil Nadu Government’s plea to the Supreme Court seeking restraint on discussion on Mekedatu project by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA).
Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said the Tamil Nadu Government has filed a miscellaneous application and accordingly the Supreme Court has to issue a notice to Karnataka. ‘’We will file a suitable reply promptly and correctly,” said Mr. Bommai.
He said the CWMA was constituted following the directives of the apex court and the authority has the powers not only to ascertain if the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal award was being implemented, but also to assess a project or issue clearance for it.
