Now, the entire team is on the way to meet our senior advocate who is representing Karnataka...We have been given an order to release 5,000 cusecs of water. It is a big pain to Karnataka because there is no water. There is no rain...I hope they will respect the sentiments and farmers of Karnataka. We also respect the farmers of Tamil Nadu.
