What Happened
The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee, chaired by Vineet Gupta, issued a directive on Tuesday requiring Karnataka to release 12,000 cusecs of water per day to Tamil Nadu for a period of 15 days. This order was reviewed and upheld by the Cauvery Water Management Authority, the appellate body led by S K Haldar, which met on the same day to discuss water sharing arrangements for the month of August.
Karnataka officials have expressed concern regarding the timing of the back to back meetings held by the two regulatory bodies. While the Cauvery Water Management Authority maintains that Karnataka is in a position to comply with the release, the state government is currently reviewing its legal options and assessing local water storage levels to determine its next course of action.
