Question

why is tamilnadu happy and karnataka about the recent verdict of cauvery

Answer 1

Tamil Nadu is happy about the apex court verdict about Cauvery water because the farmers of this state feel that they will receive sufficient amount of irrigation water, once a Cauvery Water Management Board is organized for them.

However, Karnataka is unhappy about this verdict because Supreme Court ordered to release the amount of Cauvery water that the state government did not actually want to share with Tamil Nadu.

Answer 2

The Court has passed the orders regarding the sharing of river water from River Cauvery between Karnataka and Kerala. The court has reduced the ‘Tamil Nadu’s allocation’ of Cauvery water. Tamil Nadu farmers are happy because they feel that the high allocation of water can be sought from the Cauvery River Water Management Board once it is formed.

Explanation:

• The court ordered the Centre to create a Cauvery Management Board within forty days for implementing the tribunal award and its verdict.  

• The Court ruling has allocated the sharing of Cauveri waters which Karnataka state did not want to share with Tamil Nadu.  

• The increase in the amount of water will help the state in meeting the drinking needs of Karnataka.  

• The politicians in Tamil Nadu are unhappy and feel they have been cheated with this verdict but the farmers are happy.
