Bommai writes to Union water resources minister
The Karnataka government, in a letter to the Centre, has contended that the prime minister has legal powers under the Inter State Water Disputes Act to review the September 19 decision taken in his capacity as the chairperson of the Cauvery River Authority (CRA). The government’s contention comes in the wake of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ruling out a stay or review of the decision of the CRA directing the State to release 9,000 cusecs of water every day to Tamil Nadu till October 20, saying there was no mechanism in place for him to do so at the request of a party.
