The CWMA chairperson raises the proposal at a virtual meeting
Tamil Nadu on Friday rejected the idea for an exclusive discussion by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) on the Mekedatu Balancing Reservoir-cum-Drinking Water Project proposed by Karnataka.
At a virtual meeting of the CWMA, which lasted more than two hours, its chairperson Saumitra Kumar Haldar made the suggestion in response to Karnataka’s persistent demand. But Tamil Nadu reiterated its position that there should be no discussion on the subject, which was sub judice.
The meeting was attended by the Additional Chief Secretaries of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, handling water resources — Sandeep Saxena, Rakesh Singh and T.K. Jose respectively — while Puducherry was represented by Public Works Department Chief Engineer V. Sathyamurti.
