Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay Calls for Unity Over Mega Dathu Dam Dispute

Chief Minister Vijay of Tamil Nadu addressed the state assembly to oppose Karnataka's plans to build a dam at Mega Dathu, saying the project would harm Tamil Nadu farmers and violate earlier court rulings on water sharing. He urged all political parties to set aside differences and unite for the welfare of the state's agricultural community, emphasizing the importance of water rights for livelihoods.

DMK leader M. K. Stalin also called on Vijay to stay informed about incidents of unrest across the state and to take appropriate action, highlighting concerns over public order and urging the government to respond to emerging challenges.

Both statements reflect heightened political focus on the inter‑state water dispute and the need for coordinated action to protect Tamil Nadu's water resources and farming interests.
