The State Government has decided to convene an all-party meeting in the first week of February in Bengaluru to discuss and decide on the future course of action to safeguard Karnataka’s interests in inter-State water sharing disputes, especially in the light of the Tamil Nadu Government’s move to utilise excess water in the Cauvery basin and its opposition to the State’s balancing reservoir project at Mekedatu.
The announcement was made by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday after he held elaborate consultations through a videoconference with members of the legal team representing the State in the Supreme Court, the Advocate-General, and senior officials of the Law and Water Resources departments.
