Karnataka moves SC seeking release of drought relief funds

"After exhausting all our options we have exercised our statutory right under Article 32 of Constitution with a writ petition as the Centre has even violated the Disaster Management Act 2005. The plea is likely to be listed for hearing after one week as the court is on vacation", Chief Minister Siddaramiah said.

It is a second such move after CM Siddaramaiah, along with Congress legislators and MPs from the state, had staged a protest in the national capital in the recent past over the issue of the state being allegedly denied its due share of tax.
