Tamil Nadu all-party meeting urges Union Government not to permit Karnataka build dam at Mekedatu

An all-party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday urged the Union government not to give Karnataka clearance to construct a dam across the Cauvery river at Mekedatu. The representatives of all legislature parties unanimously passed three resolutions in the meeting at the secretariat.

“No constructions should be made at Mekedatu without the approval of lower riparian states as per the Supreme Court order. The Karnataka government’s efforts to construct the dam against the Supreme Court order is highly condemnable. The project would affect the Tamil Nadu farmer’s from getting the required water,” the resolution read.
