On behalf of the people of Karnataka, we express our gratitude to the Supreme Court,” he said while speaking to reporters at Karnataka Bhavan in Delhi.
“The Supreme Court had already given us clear instructions in its earlier order, imposing a condition that Tamil Nadu’s share of 177 TMC of water must be released.
