The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday accused Karnataka of violating the final order of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) by attempting to rejuvenate Arkavati river and Hemavathy canals.
“In the absence of Cauvery Management Board, attempts made by Karnataka to rejuvenate river the Arkavati and modernize the Hemavathy canals are a violation of the final order of the CWDT,” Governor K Rosaiah said in his address at the beginning of this year's Tamil Nadu Assembly session.
He said the Centre is yet to constitute the Cauvery Management Board and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee to ensure effective implementation of the final order of the CWDT.
