True to its name, the Hogenakal row has generated more smoke than light. Both sides are convinced that they are dead right and the other side is dead wrong%u2014and neither side can entertain any other possibility in a surcharged atmopshere.
Karnataka says that since Hongenakal lies in a %u201Cdisputed area%u201C, TN cannot go ahead with the integrated water scheme till its %u201Cinter-State implications%u201D are examined under the inter-state water disputes Act. It says the grant of a no-objection certificate by the Union water resources ministry in September 1998 cannot be considered as a resolution of the %u201Cinter-State implications%u201D since the project was not part of TN%u2019s case before the Cauvery water disputes tribunal (unlike the water supply scheme for Bangalore which Karnataka undertook).
For its part, Tamil Nadu avers that Karnataka has no locus standi to oppose the Hogenakal project since it is based on the NOC issued by the Centre 10 years ago. It says the two States had agreed not to object to drinking water supply schemes as long as the State concerned utilised water from its allocated share. It says the project is on the left bank of the border %u201Cwhich is well within Tamil Nadu%u201D, hence there is no border dispute. It says it is using water allocated to it and which runs through TN for the project. And it says that the border dispute was solved fifty years ago.
But the intemperate statements of Tamil Nadu chief minister M. Karunanidhi
