Karnataka to Challenge Cauvery Water Release Order

The Karnataka government has decided to challenge the Cauvery Water Management Authority's order to release 3,500 cusecs of water per day for 15 days. The state government has been facing a severe water crisis due to deficient rainfall, and this order has added to their woes. Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has stated that the government will move the Cauvery Water Management Authority to appeal against the order. The government is preparing its appeal and will submit it soon.

What is the rationale behind Cauvery panel’s decision on release of water to T.N.?

Chief minister DK Shivakumar on Wednesday said the state government will move the Cauvery Water Management Authority after the Cauvery water regulation committee ordered the release of 3,500 cusecs a day for 15 days despite deficient rainfall across the state.
