Convene tri-States meet to solve Cauvery issue: NDC
The Nilgiris Documentation Centre has urged the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to convene a tri-state meeting with Kerala and Karnataka to resolve long-standing Cauvery water disputes. The proposal emphasizes historical unity and the need for modern water management cooperation.
Why it matters
Water resource management is a critical geopolitical issue in Southern India, with significant implications for regional economic stability and climate change adaptation.
This is the most opportune time for the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to rise above politics and convene a tri-States meeting to find a permanent solution to the Cauvery issue, said Dharmalingam Venugopal of the Nilgiris Documentation Centre.
Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka are enjoined by nature and share a common antiquity interlinked by history, culture and economic development. Till the Reorganisation of States in 1956, they were one single entity under the Madras Presidency. The states enjoy the benefit of both the South-West and the North East monsoons and occupy the major portion of the Western Ghats which produce most of the rivers of south India. These waters are enough to feed most of India.
