Tamil Nadu CM Vijay to release Mettur dam water on Sept 1 amid Cauvery row
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will release Mettur dam water on September 1 for irrigation. This decision follows insufficient monsoon rainfall and farmer demands for support. Water will be released for 45 days, depending on inflow and storage levels. Tamil Nadu has secured orders for water availability at Billigundulu from Karnataka.
