CAUVERY WATER RIVER DISPUTES BETWEEN TAMIL NADU & KARNATAKA


To: The Right Honourable Supreme Court Chief Justice  Mr. Altamas Kabir  

From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

Date: December01, 2012

RE: Requisition of your good office to deliver amicable solution on sharing of Cauvery River Water issue of the poor farmers in Tamilnadu.  

Suggestion:

Good Morning Mr. Chief Justice. You have directed two states of Chief Ministers for talks on cauvery issues to arrive at an amicable solution. My state Hon’ble Chief Minister obeyed your order because that is the law of the land as stated under Article 141 of the Constitution. Unfortunately, bilateral talks between the Chief Ministers of Karnataka and Tamilnadu failed to arrive an amicable solution. I anticipated that bilateral talks fail because once politics entered, nothing would emerge. Political disputes go on for decades together with no end ever.  

My Lord, I can say with confidence, Karnataka government reeling under inadequate storage in its reservoirs and said it will not release a single drop of water. The main problem is Karnataka government has full control over Cauvery which is an inter-state river. Karnataka government have badly violated the inter-state agreements and caused irreparable harm to the poor farmer in Tamilnadu. Already Tamilnadu farmers lost its kuruvai crop recently due to bad monsoon in the state and delay in release of water by Karnataka. Tamilnadu farmers do not want to lost samba crop due to delay in release in water by Karnataka.

My Lord, My Chief Minister requesting your good office as an interim measure, minimum of 30 tmcft at the rate of 2 tmcft a day starting from December 1, 2012 to December 15, 2012 to save the standing samba crop.

My Lord, I most humbly prayed your good office to redress the grievance of Tamilnadu poor farmer to ensure that immediate release of adequate water to save at least samba crop in Tamilnadu. Tamilnadu farmers are in great distress. Tamilnadu farmers should be protected from suicides due to withering crops. My Lord, I am confident that you can resolve this dispute as earliest as possible to save poor farmers in Tamilnadu.

Thank you very much for your kind attention my lord.   

I am Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja with great respect of you my lord.
