The Tamil Nadu government will move the Supreme Court on the issue of constituting the Cauvery Management Board, state fisheries Minister D Jayakumar said today.

The minister, however, declined to spell out what kind of petition the government will move, "We are going to approach the Supreme Court...the government is holding discussions... I cannot reveal (the nature of petition) since it is a policy decision," he told reporters in Chenai.

A meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami yesterday to discuss legal steps.

Thursday's meeting was held following the end of a six-week deadline given by the Supreme Court to the Centre to formulate a scheme on the Cauvery dispute.

Tamil Nadu's stand is that the Centre must constitute the CMB and Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee (CWRC) within six weeks from the day the apex court gave its verdict, which would be March 29.  -- PTI
