Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday stressed on bringing reforms in the judicial system so that adjudication of water disputes by tribunals is done speedily in order to avoid wastage of water sources.
Karnataka minister Basavaraj Bommai said Tamil Nadu has laid the foundation for Cauvery-Vaigai- Gundar link with an intention to utilise about 45 tmc of surplus water from Cauvery.
BENGALURU: The Karnataka government on Friday registered its strong objection to neighbouring Tamil Nadu taking up an interlinking project, aimed at utilising surplus water from the inter-state Cauvery river, saying it would affect the state s interests and would fight it legally.
The decision was taken at a meeting by water resources minister Ramesh Jarkiholi, law and mome minister Basavaraj Bommai with the state s legal team on inter-state water dispute, the state advocate general, technical team and other senior officials.
