Expert committee on Cauvery should have visited Karaikal : Ramadass

Puducherry, Oct 15(UNI) Taking a strong exception to the failure of the expert team on Cauvery water constituted at the behest of the Supreme Court to visit Karaikal, the tail end of Cauvery river, former Lok Sabha member from Puducherry Prof M Ramadass today said Chief Minister V Narayansamy should have strived every nerve to bring the Committee to Karaikal whose farmers and people were seriously affected by the non release of water hitherto.
In a statement here, Prof Ramadass said that the Chief Minister has failed to realise the fact that the issue of Karaikal is an integral part of the recommendations of the Expert Committee and that his meeting at Karaikal could have made big difference to the formulations of the Committee. Although the meeting of the Agriculture Minister with the Committee at Velankani is gratifying, it would have been more appropriate and proper if that had happened at Karaikal itself.
The Government could have presented two vital issues to the Committee if it had randomly surveyed non borewell area of Karaikal. Although the Tribunal has ordered the release of 7 tmc water since 2007, Karaikal has not been receiving it month wise regularly, Mr Ramadass said, adding that during the rainfall season in Tamil Nadu the surplus water is diverted to Karaikal and accounted as the share of Karaikal in Cauvery water which is unjust.
