Lathi war in UP's Baghpat; clash breaks out between shopkeepers
In a fresh row over utilisation of Cauvery basin water, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has said that the state would never allow Tamil Nadu government to go ahead with the newly-launched river linking project that aims to use surplus water in the Cauvery basin.
"We will not allow any state including Tamil Nadu to take away Cauvery surplus water. We will take strict action," the Chief Minister said on Monday, just a day after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami launched the Cauvery-South Vellaru-Vaigai-Gundar River Linking Scheme.
