Karnataka resumes Cauvery water release as Kabini fills; CM pitches Mekedatu project as long term solution
Karnataka has begun releasing Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu following heavy rainfall. Increased inflows into the Kabini reservoir eased pressure on state water resources. The release follows a directive from the Cauvery Water Management Authority. Recent rainfall improved reservoir levels, though drought threats persist. The Mekedatu project is seen as a long-term solution to the dispute.
