Karnataka to Challenge CWRC Order on Cauvery Water Release to Tamil Nadu

The Karnataka government will file an appeal against the Central Water Resources Commission's order directing water release to Tamil Nadu, according to a state minister. The appeal will be submitted to the Cauvery Water Management Authority, as Karnataka claims it is unable to release water to its neighbour at this time.

The decision comes amid ongoing disputes between the two states over Cauvery river water allocation, a long-standing contentious issue between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
