Its good to hear a very measured comment in a debate like these. For all, even lawyers in Karnataka have gone for a strike. What do they know of the issue? I think the number 419 in the verdict is spearheading the commotion rather than the verdict itself. People don't understand that the actual water karnataka releases is just 11 TMC more than what it did in the previous years.
I think its not good for us (including the author) to comment on the verdict at a premature level. The 1000 page verdict has to be fully analyzed first.
