Karnataka CM Shivakumar urges Cauvery protesters to call off agitation as Kabini inflows surge

Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar urged pro-Kannada groups to halt planned protests against releasing Cauvery water. He stated Karnataka is legally obligated to comply with the water-sharing order from the CWMA. Overflowing reservoirs necessitate water release, making it impossible to hold back excess inflows. An all-party meeting is scheduled to decide the state's future actions on this matter.
