I just deviated slightly. Regarding power sharing between KN and TN on dams to be built by NHPC, we should understand that any project undertaken such as building dams in upper riparian states will affect the lower riparian states and not the vice versa. If TN allows multiple dams to be constructed inside KN, certainly agriculture in TN will be affected to a great extent. Indeed, I should point out KN constructed nearly 12 smaller dams across cauvery but obtained permission from TN only for two. Is this fair?.
Hogenakkal project(not even a dam) is very well within TN and that too from the allocated share. This project will not affect the interests of KN as it the water has already left the state. Friends, kindly oppose only if affects your farmers' interests. Dont oppose for the sake of doing it.
