Kerala, TN CMs to hold talks on inter-state water disputes on Wednesday

As per the agreement, Kerala should get 19.55 TMC water from Sholayar while the TN share is 28 TMC. Similarly, Kerala is entitled to 7.25 TMC from Aliyar. However, there are complaints that TN does not release adequate quantity of water. It's in the wake of these issues that the talks are being held. "All issues related to inter-state river water-sharing would come up for talks. The Pandiyar - Punnappuzha Project and the Pampa - Achankovil river linking scheme may also come up during the talks," said Water Resources Minister K Krishnankutty. It will be the first such meeting at the chief ministerial level after a long interval of 15 years. In 2004, the then Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and TN CM J Jayalalithaa held discussions over the inter-state river water agreements in Chennai. In addition to Pinarayi, Krishnankutty, Power Minister M M Mani, Forest Minister K Raju, Chief Secretary Tom Jose, Additional Chief Secretaries Biswas Mehtha, Sathyajit Rajan and other officials concerned will represent the state in the talks.
