The Tamil Nadu Assembly has passed a crucial resolution, led by Chief Minister M K Stalin, urging the Karnataka government to comply with the Supreme Court’s final judgment and release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. The resolution garnered support from all parties except the BJP, whose members walked out, seeking amendments.
The resolution highlights the significance of Cauvery water for Tamil Nadu’s agriculture and presses Karnataka to ensure its release. Chief Minister Stalin voiced concerns about Karnataka’s obstruction, which hinders the rightful flow of water.
The historical Cauvery water-sharing conflict stems from agreements dating back to 1892 and 1924, with both states currently under opposition alliance rule. This resolution assumes political importance in light of the ongoing water scarcity in the Cauvery basin, impacting millions.
Tamil Nadu’s commitment to fighting for its due share of Cauvery water underscores the resolution aimed at safeguarding farmers’ livelihoods and public welfare.
