After BSY’s appeal, T.N. Chief Minister refuses to budge but hopes for ‘cooperation’
A day after Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa urged him not to oppose the Mekedatu project, his Tamil Nadu counterpart M.K. Stalin wrote back reiterating the State’s position and requesting him not to pursue the project across the Cauvery. He expressed his hope that cooperation and a good relationship would prevail between the two States. Mr. Stalin stated that he was against comparing the Mekedatu balancing reservoir project with the two hydropower projects of Tamil Nadu. “Let me clarify at the very outset that there is no consumption of water in the two hydropower projects, with the available water being just recirculated by pumping to meet peak power demand. Both projects do not affect the availability of water for irrigation or drinking in Tamil Nadu,” he said.
