tmc of Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu and asked the central
government to file an affidavit before May 8 detailing the steps taken
by it for setting up the Cauvery Management Board to implements its
order.
The court’s observation came on a day its deadline for the Centre to come up with a formula to divide the river waters among the four southern states ended today Thursday May 03,2018
Appearing on behalf of the government, Attorney General KK Venugopal told the court that the draft of the Cauvery Management Board has to be approved by the Union Cabinet before submitting it to the court. He argued that since Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Karnataka to campaign for his party for the upcoming elections, and the draft, therefore, has not been approved yet.
After listening to the AG’s argument, the court asked the government to file the draft copy on or before May 8 when it will resume the hearing.
