Karnataka's Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has asked Tamil Nadu's counterpart Vijay to postpone his visit to Bengaluru, citing the ongoing Cauvery water dispute as a reason. The request came during a press meet where Mr. Shivakumar emphasized that the atmosphere is not conducive for such a visit at this time. The Cauvery water issue, a long-standing point of contention between the two states, has seen renewed tensions in recent months. Tamil Nadu's leader, Vijay, had planned to visit Karnataka's capital to discuss the matter further. The delay underscores the sensitivity of the issue, which has historically led to political and diplomatic friction. While no official date has been set for the rescheduled visit, the move highlights the ongoing challenges in resolving the water allocation dispute. (thehindu.com)
