Chennai:The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Monday adopted a resolution urging the Centre to direct Karnataka to release water from the Cauvery river to the state as per the directions of the Supreme Court. The resolution was declared passed unanimously by speaker M Appavu after the BJP staged a walkout.
Chief Minister M K Stalin moved the resolution and said Karnataka created an "artificial crisis" and had not released water from the river as per the apex court's directions. The resolution was passed after a fierce debate with between Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami and the Treasury benches led by Stalin. The AIADMK, however, supported the resolution.
