Need time for Cauvery scheme: Centre to SC
What has happened?
Tamil Nadu argued that though the Cauvery tribunal had ordered the release of 2.5 tmcft each for April and May, Karnataka had released only 1.1 tmcft in April.
Background
Tamil Nadu has filed a contempt petition against the Centre for delaying the framing of the scheme as per the top court’s February 16 judgment.
Electoral issue
The Centre does not want to frame the scheme before the elections on May 12 to favour the BJP’s fortunes in the State
CJ’s assurance
The Chief Justice assured that Tamil Nadu would indeed get water. In a stern voice, he told the Karnataka counsel that the “State must release water.”
What now?
The court directed Mr. Venugopal to respond on Tuesday about what steps the Centre had taken so far to frame the scheme.
