Karnataka has not released 15,000 cusecs: TN?tells panel

New Delhi, Sep 9: Despite Karnataka claiming that it has released 15,000 cusecs water from the Cauvery to Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu government has stated that the Karnataka has not honoured the Supreme Court order.

Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary P Rammohan Rao in his letter to Shashi Shekar, chairman, Cauvery Supervisory Committee, who is also the Secretary to Water Resources Ministry, said “it is also brought to the notice of the Supervisory Committee that as on September 7, Karnataka has not ensured that realisation of 15,000 cusecs of water at Biligundlu as ordered by the Honourable Supreme Court”.

The Supreme Court in its order on Monday directed the Karnataka to ensure flow of 15,000 cusecs of water from the Cauvery at Biligundlu, a Central Water Commission monitoring centre. While requesting the Ministry of Water Resources to convene the urgent meeting of the Supervisory Committee, Tamil Nadu has requested the Centre to “issue direction to Karnataka to make good the deficit of 64.755 tmcft of water in the flow at Biligundlu as on September 5, 2016 and also Karnataka to ensure the flows for the rest of the period as per the final order of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal.”

Though the Tribunal order states that from June 2016 to September 2016 ( September 5, 2016) Tamil Nadu should get 100.670 tmcft of water, so far flow realised at Billigundlu was just 35.91 tmcft, a shortage of 64.75 tmcft, Tamil Nadu claimed.

Besides, Karnataka has thrown open all its reservoirs for irrigation and is drawing maximum supply to canals. It has withdrawn 30 tmcft from their four major reservoirs as on September 9, 2016, besides through anicut channels, medium and minor reservoir systems and minor irrigation, the letter said.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
