Anbumani terms House resolution on Mekedatu tribunal ‘dangerous’
PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has criticized a Tamil Nadu Assembly resolution that proposes a new tribunal for the Mekedatu dam dispute. He argues that the resolution is counterproductive and could inadvertently provide Karnataka with a legal pathway to construct the dam, threatening Tamil Nadu's water security.
Why it matters
The Mekedatu dam project is a long-standing, highly contentious water-sharing dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka that impacts regional agricultural stability and political relations.
Terming the recent resolution adopted in the State Assembly that incorporated a key amendment seeking the formation of a new tribunal over the proposal to build a dam at Mekedatu as “dangerous”, PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday said it would lead to grave injustice to Tamil Nadu.
