Mekedatu dam issue: SC likely to hear TN’s contempt plea on July 27

The Supreme Court has tentatively listed July 27 as the likely date to hear the contempt petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against Karnataka and central government against the construction of Mekedatu dam over Cauvery river by the Karnataka government.

The Tamil Nadu government had moved the contempt petition against the director of project appraisal (south), chairman of the Central Water Commission, directorate of the Central water commission, Managing Director of Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited, Karnataka’s water resources department principal secretary and minister. The contempt was moved in December 2018 after the Central Water Commission entertained the feasibility report of the dam.
