Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa held a meeting in hospital today with ministers and top officials to discuss her government's response in the Cauvery dispute with Karnataka, reports NDTV.

She has deputed the state's Public Works Department minister Eapadi Palanisamy to attend a meeting in her stead with Karnataka chief minister Siddaramiah ordered by the Supreme Court, a press statement said.

Jayalalithaa has been admitted at Chennai's Apollo hospital since last Thursday and is being treated for fever and dehydration. The hospital and the state government have issued multiple reports to say she is responding well to treatment and will be discharged soon, seeking to quell rumours that the chief minister is very unwell.
