Palaniswami urges CM Vijay to hold all-party meeting on Mekedatu dam

AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami has urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the Mekedatu dam project. Palaniswami's call comes amid ongoing concerns over the proposed reservoir's potential impact on water availability in Tamil Nadu.

The Mekedatu project, proposed on the Cauvery river in Karnataka, has been a point of contention between the two states. Tamil Nadu has expressed concerns that the dam could affect the state's water share from the Cauvery.

Palaniswami's appeal suggests the need for broader political consensus on the matter before any further developments on the interstate water project.
