Karnataka to move SC on Tamil Nadu’s Cauvery scheme  

Context: Karnataka will soon approach the Supreme Court with an original suit against Tamil Nadu’s decision to unilaterally go ahead with the Cauvery-Vellaru-Vaigai-Gundar link project to utilise excess water in the Cauvery basin and transfer it to its southern districts.

Details:

• The utilisation of surplus water requires permission of all the basin States and that Karnataka has submitted its opposition to the Centre, and the Central Water Commission.
• The link scheme to which Tamil Nadu laid the foundation last month did not have the approval of the State.
