Karnataka wants to implement Mekedatu water project as per law: Minister

Belagavi, Dec 12 (UNI) Karnataka Minister for Water Resources D K Shivakumar on Wednesday said that the proposed Mekedatu across Cauvery river will be taken up as per the law and there was no question of the State government going against any Court order.
Speaking to reporters here, he said Mekedatu project is not understood properly by Tamil Nadu government. It is not proper to oppose the project just for the sake of politics and the project is more beneficial to that State. '’We want to implement this project meant for hydro electricity production and drinking water purpose as per the law. It will be more beneficial to Tamil Nadu once it is built,’’ he added.
He said the Central Water Commission has just given permission to Karnataka to prepare Detailed Project Report and not given nod to build the dam yet. ‘’We are ready to put across our case in the Supreme Court which has given four weeks time. I can give further reaction only after the final verdict comes out.’’
