Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shetter has said that the state will file its review petition and objections in response to Tamil Nadu’s petition on sharing of Cauvery river water in Supreme Court . Speaking to media persons, he said, the state will request the apex court to take up the hearing today itself, as the release of 9000 cusecs of cauvery water everyday is depleting its reservoirs.
