Tamil Nadu will never allow Karnataka’s move to build dam across Cauvery at Mekedatu: Duraimurugan

 

The Tamil Nadu government reiterated that it would never allow the Karnataka government’s Mekedatu dam plan across the river Cauvery near the inter-state border.

 

The minister’s remarks came in the wake of the National Green Tribunal taking suo motu cognizance of a report published on April 15, alleging that some steps were being taken and materials had been collected near the proposed project area. The tribunal constituted a four-member committee of the Union environment ministry, Cauvery Water Management Authority, Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited and forest department of Karnataka government to inspect the area in question and submit a factual as well as action taken report, if there was any violation.

 

The Tamil Nadu government’s contempt petitions against the project appraisal directorate of Central Water Commission and the secretary of Karnataka water resources department in December 2018 are pending in the Supreme Court.
