Mr.Vivek, TN is not increasing the cultivable lands but just trying to protect the already cultivated. Its Karnataka that is trying to increase it manifold. How can people in lower riparian region block water or irrigation in higher riparian region?. Its only the people of higher riparian region has the advantage to deny water to lower riparian regions. I am not trying to split you but only quetion your extensive 'attachment' towards Cauvery than Krishna.
