Mekedatu: DKShi urges Bommai to start work on project immediately

Bengaluru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief DK Shivakumar urged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to immediately start work on the Mekedatu dam project.
Addressing presspersons Shivakumar said,”The Mekedatu dam is a project to utilize our share of water. No one in the state says not to start the Mekedatu project. So let the government plan. We are fully cooperating.”
The Mekedatu balancing reservoir-cum drinking water project, to be constructed across the Cauvery river basin, has been at the centre of controversy between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Earlier on July 12, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who then served as the state’s Home Minister, had said that the Centre will have to give clearance to the project as per law and there is no reason the state government will stop the project.
Responding to the comments of Bommai, Tamil Nadu Water Resource Durai Murugan said that the state has the right to take a legal course of action to stop Karnataka from constructing the Mekedatu dam.
