New Delhi: In a setback to Tamil Nadu on Mekedatu Dam issue, the Supreme Court yesterday refused to stay the permission given to Karnataka for preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) to construct a new dam on Cauvery River and directed the Central Water Commission (CWC) to file its response in four weeks.
A Bench of Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and Ajay Rastogi also sought their responses on Tamil Nadu’s challenge to the Centre’s decision to give CWC chief S. Masood Husain additional charge as the Chairman of the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA).
