A delegation of all-party MPs from Tamil Nadu, led by Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan, will meet Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and urge him to prevail upon the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to order the release of 12,500 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Saturday.
In a statement here, he said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted normal rain in the Cauvery catchments in Karnataka between September 13 and 15. “The delegation would submit a memorandum to the Minister urging him to direct Karnataka to release water based on the orders of the CWMA/Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC),” he said.
