Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Opens Mettur Dam to Supply Cauvery Water to Delta Farmers
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay opened the sluice gates of Stanley Reservoir at Mettur Dam to release Cauvery water for irrigation. The release was delayed due to below-normal rainfall in the region. Delta district farmers are expected to benefit from the water supply for their agricultural needs. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has postponed the Cauvery water dispute hearing to September 15. Tamil Nadu is seeking court directions for Karnataka to clear its pending water release obligations, while Karnataka maintains it has already exceeded the required release quota.
