1. CM Stalin urges PM Modi to instruct Karnataka to release Cauvery water to T.N.
Flagging the “grim scenario” faced by the farmers of Cauvery delta in saving their kuruvai paddy crop, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting his immediate intervention in instructing Karnataka to release Tamil Nadu’s due share of Cauvery water, and to further clear the shortfall in June and July.
In his letter, Mr. Stalin pointed out Karnataka was not honouring the Supreme Court’s order that had fixed the share of water to be delivered to T.N., and was also not adhering to the directions of the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA).
