Cauvery River Water Sharing Dispute - Special Karnataka Assembly Session called today to decide on SC verdict Friday Sep 23,2016

In a move that may set the state on a collision course with the judiciary, a special session of both Houses of Karnataka legislature will be held today Friday Sep 23,2016 to take a call on the Supreme Court's direction to the state to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water per day to Tamil Nadu.
   
Ahead of the session, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah met Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti in Delhi on Thursday, a day after the cabinet decided to defer the release of water and convene the legislature session amid escalating row between the two neighbouring states.
