The DMK moves the Supreme Court seeking directions to Karnataka to release Tamil Nadu’s share of Cauvery water. The petition asks that Karnataka ensure a daily release of 3,500 cusecs at the inter-State contact point at Biligundlu, aligning with a July 28 directive of the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee. The plea also seeks to address a shortfall in releases that has accumulated over time, with one report citing an outstanding deficit of 9.46 TMC. In addition, the DMK asks the court to monitor compliance by directing the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to oversee the releases and submit a compliance report to the court. Separately, one account states that Karnataka’s Chief Minister urges protesters to withdraw their agitation against the water releases, while maintaining that the state government will protect farmers’ interests and follow judicial orders. The petition therefore focuses on immediate compliance with the specified daily release quantity, verification of monitoring, and court-supervised reporting regarding Tamil Nadu’s entitlement under the Cauvery dispute framework.
