DEPUTY Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Tuesday urged the Union government to grant approval for the Mekedatu Balancing Reservoir project.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Bengaluru

Speaking at the second All India State Water Ministers' Conference 2025 -- 'India@2047: A Water Secure Nation' in Udaipur, Rajasthan, the DyCM said the balancing reservoir across the Cauvery river will help Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. The reservoir will help release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu as per the specified monthly quantum, fulfil Bengaluru's drinking water needs, and generate 400MW of power.

"The Centre had announced a grant of Rs 5,300 crore for the Upper Bhadra Project in the 2023-24 budget, yet the amount has not been released," he said, and appealed to the Union government to release funds for the project as it caters to drought-affected Central Karnataka region.
