SC will ensure that required water will be made available to TN

The government is making efforts to secure Tamil Nadu’s rightful share of Cauvery water from Karnataka and the Supreme Court will ensure that required amount of water will be made available to the State, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said here on Friday. Replying to a debate on a special call attention motion on the Cauvery issue, the Chief Minister said her government had taken several steps to secure the State’s rights at any cost with a view to protecting the [long-term] samba crop, given the fact that the [short-term] kuruvai crop was adversely affected in the State.
