The Supreme Court on Monday modified its September 5 order on the ongoing Cauvery water crisis to reduce quantum of water to be released to Tamil Nadu by Karnataka to 12000 cusecs from 15000 cusecs, as ordered earlier.
The apex court’s order came after Karnataka Government filed an application seeking a direction to reduce the quantum of water to be released from Cauvery river to Tamil Nadu from 15,000 cusecs to 1,000 cusecs.
A minor respite in water ration has come at a cost of Karnataka Government as the SC Justice Dipak Misra expressed strong displeasure over noncompliance of SC’s order by the state government. The Judge also took an exception of the rampant violence that erupted in both states following the previous judgement on the issue.
