TN CM urges PM to block Karnataka's Mekedatu dam project
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to express his opposition to the Mekedatu dam project planned by Karnataka on the Cauvery River. He challenged the Central government's stance that Karnataka is not required to obtain approval from downstream states to proceed with the construction. Vijay requested that the Centre adhere to the 2018 Supreme Court ruling and ensure the rights of lower riparian states are upheld.
