Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will chair a meeting of the Members of Parliament (MPs) and Union Ministers from Karnataka, in Bengaluru on Thursday at 5 p.m. to discuss the fallout of the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Cauvery issue and take a decision on whether to seek a review of the court order.

The apex court had pronounced its verdict on February 16, increasing Karnataka’s share of the Cauvery waters from 270 tmcft to 284.75 tmcft. Of the additional 14.75 tmcft, the apex court had awarded 4.75 tmcft for drinking water requirements of Bengaluru, and the remaining had been earmarked for handling the State’s irrigation needs.

Siddaramaiah held an all-party meeting of the State leaders in Bengaluru on March 8 and heard the concerns of the floor leaders of both the Houses of the State legislature, and legislators and MPs from the Cauvery basin.
