Centre to appoint tribunal to settle Mahanadi water dispute
Following a Supreme Court directive, the Union Cabinet has approved the setting up of a tribunal to resolve the dispute between Odisha and Chhattisgarh on sharing water from the Mahanadi river. In 2016, Odisha had moved the SC against Chhattisgarh building dams on the river. Odisha alleged the construction was affecting the river flow and water supply to its farmers.
