Supreme Court directs Centre to constitute Tribunal within a month to resolve Mahanadi water dispute

New Delhi: Supreme Court directs Centre to constitute Tribunal within a month to resolve Mahanadi water dispute between Odisha and Chhattisgarh.

Even as the state government demanded setting up of a tribunal to resolve the dispute, Union water resources minister Nitin Gadkari requested Odisha government on January 4 while replying to a question in the Lok Sabha to settle the water sharing dispute with Chhattisgarh through dialogue, saying records show that moving a tribunal only delays a solution. However, the Odisha government had rejected Gadkari’s request.
