Cauvery water : Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah calls all-party meeting

Bengaluru, Sept 6 (IBNS) : Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has convened an all-party meeting on Tuesday to decide the course of action after the Supreme Court directed his Government to release 15,000 cusecs of Cauvery water per day to Tamil Nadu, reports said.

In a strong repercussion to the top court's order, protesters  blocked highways and resorted to burning tyres.

The Supreme Court’s orders came in the wake of a plea by Tamil Nadu government against Karnataka’s alleged violation of orders of the Cauvery River Water Disputes Tribunal for sharing water  for agriculture in the Cauvery basin in Tamil Nadu.

Karnataka has been insisting that it does not have sufficient water in its reservoirs because of insufficient rain during monsoon.

Siddaramaiah is having consultations with legal experts and opposition parties to find a way out to cope with the situation.
