Tamil Nadu’s government says it plans to approach the Supreme Court to secure its share of Cauvery river water. Minister Nirmal Kumar states the state is assessing several legal and diplomatic options while pursuing the objective of ensuring its entitlements. According to the reports, the government is currently evaluating avenues that include filing for relief before the apex court, seeking a tribunal, holding inter-state negotiations with other concerned states, and pursuing discussions within the Union government framework. The statements indicate that Tamil Nadu’s approach is not limited to litigation alone; instead, it involves weighing multiple strategies to address the water-sharing dispute. The sources agree that the immediate step being considered is engaging the Supreme Court as part of efforts to obtain its due share of Cauvery waters. The government’s next actions are expected to follow this evaluation of options, depending on legal and political developments.
