Mettur Dam Gates Open: Tamil Nadu Government Opens Mettur Dam Today

After reviewing the desilt work in the Delta region on Friday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin directed the officials to ensure Mettur water reaches the final stretch of the region. CM visited the region after a day before the opening of the Mettur Dam.

Chennai: Meanwhile, stating that the Tamil Nadu government is opening the Mettur dam from June 12 under the justified assumption that Cauvery water would be released as per the monthly schedule fixed by the Supreme Court, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday asked for immediate intervention of Union Minister for Jal Shakthi Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to advice the Cauvery Water Management Authority in this regard.

“Since delta areas in Tamil Nadu do not benefit from the Southwest monsoon, the Kuruvai crop would be totally dependent on the continuous release of water from Mettur reservoir. Hence, any shortfall in the release of water as per the schedule will severely impact the standing crop as well as commencing and continuing the Samba cultivation, from next month,” the Chief Minister emphasized in his letter to the Union Minister.

CM also requested Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to ensure that Tamil Nadu gets the assured quantum of Cauvery water. “As per Supreme Court judgment, we (Tamil Nadu) are to receive 9.19 TMC of water in June and 31.24 TMC in July. I request you to take necessary steps to advise Cauvery Water Management Authority to ensure the realization of water as per the monthly schedule,” he said in his DO letter.
