September 21, 2016
Karnataka cabinet has decided not to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu till September 23. Earlier, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah chaired a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue, after an all party meeting.
The Supreme Court had on Tuesday asked Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs of water everyday till September 27.
Soon after it, the CM had said that the order is 'unimplementable'.
"....the Supreme Court has passed an order, since we do not have water. It is very difficult to implement it. It is an unimplementable order," he told reporters in Bengaluru.
