Karnataka was directed to release 2,000 cusecs of water from the Cauvery each day to Tamil Nadu from October 7 to 18 by the Supreme Court, which deferred its order asking the Centre to set up Cauvery Water Management Board till it finally decided on appeals relating to the age-old water dispute. Instead, the apex court agreed to the suggestion that a Supervisory Committee, comprising
officials and technical experts from the Centre, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry, be set up to inspect the Cauvery basin to assess ground realities. The committee was asked by the Bench, comprising Justices Dipak Misra and U U Lalit, to file its report by October 17.
