Curated summary

The Supreme Court will hear Tamil Nadu’s plea on August 13 over Cauvery water releases from Karnataka. Tamil Nadu says Karnataka ignored the Cauvery Water Management Authority’s order to release 3,500 cusecs a day for 15 days from the Kabini and Krishna Raja Sagara reservoirs, and wants the court to ensure water reaches Billigundulu. The state is also seeking compensation for the shortfall and an additional share from June 1 to August 12.
