Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to ensure that no statutory or administrative approval is granted to Karnataka’s proposed Mekedatu project unless it is consistent with the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal’s 2007 award and the Supreme Court’s 2018 judgment on the sharing of the river’s waters.

The letter was prompted by the Jal Shakti Ministry’s Parliament reply on July 27, which stated that the Supreme Court’s judgment of February 16, 2018, “does not expressly stipulate that Karnataka should obtain the consent of the lower riparian States before constructing a structure across the River Cauvery”.

In a detailed letter to the Prime Minister on Monday, Vijay urged the Union government to withdraw that reply, arguing that it overlooks settled legal principles governing interstate rivers and the rights of downstream States.

Karnataka’s proposal to construct the Mekedatu balancing reservoir has long been a thorny issue between the two states, which have often clashed over their share of waters of the Cauvery river.
