Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said irrigation projects in Karnataka are bogged down by inter-State river water disputes and asked the Centre to ‘revisit the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act since the law is creating more disputes than resolving them’.
“There are some legal interventions that are necessary. Our irrigation projects are delayed, bogged down by the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act. In fact, it creates more disputes than resolve them. Time has come to revisit this,” said Mr. Bommai during a virtual event related to the inauguration of ‘PM Gati Shakti’ South Zone Conference, chaired by Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari.
