Coimbatore /Bengaluru: Reacting to a query on Mekedatu issue Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan on Tuesday said that the Centre has given approval only to prepare a project report and not for construction of the dam.

Recently, the Central Water Commission had allowed Karnataka to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the construction of a balancing reservoir cum drinking water project at Mekedatu across the Cauvery, he informed.

Last week, Chief Minister K Palaniswami had urged the Centre to withdraw its permission to Karnataka for preparing the DPR, he added.
