Tamil Nadu’s DMK MPs urge Centre to constitute tribunal for Mekedatu

Tamil Nadu's DMK MPs are pushing for a tribunal to address the Mekedatu dam issue, citing significant hardship for farmers due to Karnataka's refusal to open the Mettur Dam. This stalemate underscores the broader conflict over river water sharing between the two states, which has major implications for agricultural productivity and regional water management. The call for a tribunal highlights the need for a fair resolution to this longstanding dispute to ensure sustainable water supply and support for farming communities.
