The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to submit a report on the status of discharge of the river water by Karnataka to Tamil Nadu, especially its availability for the next fortnight.
A three-judge Bench headed by Justice B.R. Gavai directed the CWMA to submit the report before September 1.
The direction came after Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati said that the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee was meeting on August 28 to discuss the release of water for the next fortnight. The decision would then be referred to the CWMA.
