Karnataka will take an-all party delegation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to explain the ground realities in the Cauvery river water sharing dispute. In addition, the State would seek a scientific distress formula to share Cauvery water among the riparian States during its arguments in the Supreme Court, which is hearing the case on August 25.
“Opposition parties (BJP and Janata Dal-Secular) have agreed to cooperate with the government. We will explain the ground realities in the Cauvery issue to the Prime Minister. The all-party delegation will also urge the PM to notify the Krishna Tribunal 2 award and seek forest clearances for the Mahadayi drinking water project,” the Chief Minister told mediapersons after chairing the all-party meeting in Bengaluru on August 23.
“The delegation will also meet ministers of Jal Shakthi, and environment, forests and climate change seeking clearances for Mekedatu and Mahadayi projects.”
