The all-party meeting articulated strong resolutions, including the immediate issuance of CWRA orders to Karnataka for releasing the stipulated Cauvery water.
The CWMA had ordered Karnataka to release 5,000 cusecs of Cauvery water for 15 days to Tamil Nadu, and the ruling Congress government in Karnataka had decided to adhere to the SC’s directive.
The matter was mentioned by the counsel representing Tamil Nadu for urgent listlisting before a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra.
Urging the court to list its plea in the Cauvery water dispute row, senior advocate Rohatgi said that the standing crops in delta districts need water urgently.
The riparian state of Tamil Nadu has been allowed to utilise surplus Cauvery water to irrigate 4 lakh acres of land in and around Salem district, he added.
