Charging Karnataka with wilful default in releasing Tamil Nadu's share of Cauvery water, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has sought the Centre's intervention to ensure that the upper riparian state complied with the final order of the tribunal in this regard. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she said that as against the stipulated quantum of 94 tmc to be released by Karnataka in the last three months, "only a meagre" 66.443 tmc ft had been realised by Tamil Nadu as on August 31 last, leaving "a huge shortfall of 27.557 TMC ft." She added that there was "wilful default" on part of Karnataka by "not adhering to the schedule of release of Cauvery water" as stipulated by the tribunal.
