Karnataka is making arrangements for a potential visit by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay, according to The Hindu. The report did not specify a date or the purpose of the trip.
The development comes as the Cauvery water dispute intensifies. The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) has upheld a directive requiring Karnataka to release 3,500 cusecs of water per day to Tamil Nadu, NDTV reports. The Times of India notes that farmers in Karnataka have threatened protests in response to this decision.
Tensions have spilled over into public life. The Hindu reports that protests have continued, and screenings of a film featuring Vijay have been disrupted. Separately, the Madras High Court has sought responses from the Tamil Nadu government and the central government on a petition challenging a resolution related to the Mekedatu project, according to Deccan Chronicle.
The situation remains fluid, with both states closely watching the next steps from the CWMA and the courts.
