The Cauvery authority ordered Karnataka to ensure 3,500 cusecs of flow to Tamil Nadu for 15 days. Karnataka objected, citing weak inflow and its own drinking water needs. Days later, heavy rain over the Kabini catchment lifted inflows and 10,000 cusecs was released from the Kabini dam. CPM state secretary P. Shanmugam asked how the position reversed in just two days, and whether the Cauvery Water Management Authority is monitoring dam levels properly.
