Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has called an all-party meeting on August 2 to discuss the Cauvery Water Management Authority's (CWMA) directive to release 3,500 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days. Farmers and pro-Kannada activists in Karnataka have been protesting against the decision, with some even staging semi-nude protests and tearing posters of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay. The Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee (CWRC) had earlier directed Karnataka to release water, but the state government challenged the directive. Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy termed the CWRC's direction 'unscientific' and a 'death warrant for Karnataka'. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Minister C.T.R. Nirmal Kumar said the CM will make an appropriate announcement regarding a meeting with Karnataka CM.
