Tamil Nadu CM Vijay writes to PM Modi over Mekedatu project
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging the Centre to ensure that the Mekedatu project aligns with the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal Award and Supreme Court rulings. The proposed project, which aims to create a reservoir for drinking water and power generation, faces strong opposition from Tamil Nadu due to concerns over its impact on water flow to downstream states. Stalin criticized the Centre's previous response as disappointing and emphasized the need for mutual agreement among states regarding any modifications to the Tribunal Award.
