special Assly session sought to persuade Centre to form CWMB

The opposition AIADMK today urg'ed Chief Minister V Narayanasamy to take immediate steps to convene a special assembly session to discuss andpersuade the Centre to constitute Cauvery Water Management Board in keeping with the directive of Supreme Court in sharing of river water.
AIADMK legislature wing leader A Anbalagan told reporters here said that the Chief Minister was remaining silent on the matter without taking steps to urge the Centre to constitute the Board'.
By not doing so, the Congress government was doing injustice to farmers of Karaikal region who are dependent on Cauvery water, he said, adding that the Chief Minister should realise their pathetic plight.

He said if Narayanaswamy was not able to conevene the special assembly session or take steps to persuade the Centre to set up the Board, he might as well step down owning failure to protect them',
Anbalagan said AIADMK MLAs would soon present a detailed memorandum to Lt Governor Kiran Bedi to urge her to direct the government to have special session of the House to discuss the Cauvery issue.
