BENGALURU: Karnataka plans to seek legal recourse — it’s even exploring the option of moving the Supreme Court — over the Centre’s proposal in the Union Budget to link rivers in southern states. Officials said the state will also demand the constitution of a tribunal to allocate river water to riparian states.
Karnataka has already asked the Centre to keep detailed reports (DPR) on the river-linking projects on hold since there is no clarity yet on the quantity of water states will get. It also plans to reiterate its stand, while asking the Centre to rework the DPR, depending on the allocation of water.
