As the Cauvery River Authority (CRA) meeting has failed to break the stalemate over the continued release of Cauvery water for ‘samba’ cultivation, Tamil Nadu will immediately file a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a direction to Karnataka to release the water.

This was decided at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who held discussion with senior Ministers and officials on Monday. Ms. Jayalalithaa directed the officials to file the petition in the court to get Tamil Nadu’s share of water.
