Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa has written a letter to his Tamil Nadu counterpart MK Stalin, asking him not to oppose his government's Mekedatu project on the Cau, arguing that it would immensely benefit both states. "Both states are bound to get benefited by Mekedatu project," Yediyurappa said in the letter. "Karnataka will only take its share of water from the project and nothing more," Yediyurappa said in the letter. The Stalin government has filed an appeal in the top court against the project. The Karnataka government, too, has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court seeking a study on the environmental impact of the project.
