CWMA upholds Karnataka water release to Tamil Nadu; CM DK Shivakumar calls all-party meet on Sunday

The Cauvery Water Management Authority upheld a directive for Karnataka to release water. Karnataka argued hydrological distress, but its plea was rejected by the authority. Tamil Nadu sought increased water release, while the authority endorsed the existing directive. Karnataka's Chief Minister convened an all-party meeting to discuss the state's response. Protests continued across Cauvery basin districts following the order.
