Vijay writes to PM Modi over Mekedatu Dam construction: What is this dispute between Tamil Nadu, Karnataka?

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking the Centre to stop Karnataka’s proposed Mekedatu dam project, bringing the long-running Cauvery river dispute back into the spotlight. In his letter, Vijay urged the Union government to reject Karnataka’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the dam and said the project goes against earlier Supreme Court orders related to Cauvery river water sharing. Coming down heavily on the Ministry of Jal Shakti and the Central Water Commission (CWC), the Tamil Nadu government questioned why Karnataka’s proposal was still being entertained despite strong objections from Tamil Nadu.
