Karnataka to decide next move over Cauvery water row today

New Delhi : Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah called for a separate cabinet and all-party on Wednesday to find out a way over the Cauvery water issue, after the Supreme Court directed the state to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu till September 27.

While addressing the mediapersons, Siddaramaiah said, “It is very difficult to implement the Supreme Court’s order to release water as we do not have enough water.”
