Release 10,000 cusecs of Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu, SC tells Karnataka

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today directed Karnataka to release 10,000 cusecs of water from Cauvery River to Tamil Nadu.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Cauvery monitoring committee to meet on Thursday to decide the water requirement of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

The court had earlier on Friday told Tamil Nadu to submit its requirement of water on Saturday, after the talks failed between chief minister J Jayalalithaa and her Karnataka counterpart Jagadish Shettar in Bangalore.

The Cauvery River Authority headed by the prime minister in an interim award Sep 19 directed Karnataka to release for Tamil Nadu 9,000 cusecs of Cauvery water every day.
