45-day Mettur water release could help Karnataka deny Tamil Nadu Cauvery share: CPM's P Shanmugam
In a pointed critique, CPM secretary P Shanmugam took issue with the Mettur dam water release timetable, labeling the allocated 45 days as inadequate for paddy farming requirements. He emphasized that this could have detrimental effects on delta farmers and their yields, potentially undermining Tamil Nadu's position in the Cauvery water conflict. Shanmugam called for government action to secure necessary water supply for farmers' livelihoods.
