Mahanadi Water Sharing Dispute

The union cabinet has approved the setting up of a tribunal, to settle the dispute between Odisha and Chhattisgarh over the sharing of Mahanadi river waters. The cabinet's decision comes after the Supreme Court had directed the Centre to form the tribunal within a month and resolve the dispute.

Water Resources Minister Nitin Gadkari today urged the Odisha government to settle the Mahanadi water sharing dispute with Chhattisgarh through dialogue, saying records show that moving a tribunal only delays a solution.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today again demanded that the Centre immediately set up a tribunal to resolve the Mahanadi water dispute between the state and neighbouring Chhattisgarh.
