Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin (referred to as CM Vijay in one report) urges Prime Minister Narendra Modi to expedite the Godavari–Cauvery–Gundar river link project. In a communication to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister says the project offers a long-term opportunity to augment Tamil Nadu’s surface water resources. The proposal is described as a mechanism to transfer surplus floodwaters from water-surplus river basins to regions that face water deficits. The reports frame the linkage as a way to better utilize excess water generated during floods rather than letting it go to waste. Both sources present the appeal as centered on accelerating implementation, emphasizing expected benefits for water availability in Tamil Nadu. No additional details on timelines, project cost, or specific government actions are provided in the excerpts, but the message underscores the state’s interest in moving the initiative forward and treating it as a strategic long-term water management measure.
