Mysuru: Every other day, Tamil Nadu raises Cauvery water sharing issue and regularly knocks the doors of Supreme Court demanding its share of water irrespective of rainfall and water storage levels in dams of Karnataka along the Cauvery Basin. Is it not its (Tamil Nadu) duty to come to the rescue of people of flood and landslide-ravaged Kodagu (the birth place of River Cauvery) during their time of distress?
This question of natural justice has been raised by Saraswati Samman recipient and noted Kannada Litterateur Dr. S.L. Bhyrappa. Tamil Nadu is the biggest beneficiary of River Cauvery for its drinking water, livelihood and irrigation needs and that State ensures that Karnataka releases water regularly even though there is less rainfall and the storage levels in the dams hit rock bottom.
