Cauvery: TN intensifies legal battle against Karna

January 21, 2013 20:54

Opening another front in its legal battle with Karnataka on the Cauvery row, Tamil Nadu today decided to move the Supreme Court seeking damages from it for loss of crops caused by the neighbouring state's 'adamant approach' in not releasing water.

Upping the ante, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa announced she has ordered officials to file a suit in the apex court claiming damages to compensate for the loss of Kuruvai (short-term) and Samba (long-term) paddy crops in the state.

In spite of directions by the Supreme Court and Cauvery Monitoring Committee, Karnataka had not released water in 'appropriate way', following which the crops have been 'largely affected', Jayalalithaa said, citing various petitions filed by her government.
