DMK Moves Supreme Court to Direct Karnataka to Release Tamil Nadu’s Share of Cauvery Water
The party said Karnataka has not released the directed flow, putting 14.913 lakh acres and millions of farmers and labourers at risk.
- On Saturday, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam moved the Supreme Court seeking immediate directions for Karnataka to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, citing non-compliance with the apex court's 2018 judgment and statutory authority orders.
- The plea demands implementation of Cauvery Water Regulation Committee and Cauvery Water Management Authority directions, which ordered a flow of 3,500 cusecs per day for 15 days at the Biligundlu border point.
- Deficient monsoon rains have left the Kuruvai crop under severe stress, threatening livelihoods of about 4 million farmers and 10 million agricultural labourers who depend on the Mettur reservoir.
- Seeking to address a 9.46 TMC backlog, the DMK noted that Karnataka officials publicly declared they "will not release the water" and will pursue legal remedies instead.
- The application urges the Supreme Court to direct the CWMA to monitor daily releases and submit compliance reports, warning that standing crops face irreparable loss without immediate water flow.
