Tamil Nadu requests a new tribunal to address the Mekedatu project, arguing it is outside the scope of previous rulings and violates water dispute laws.

• Tamil Nadu seeks a new tribunal to address the Mekedatu project, calling it 'inadmissible' and 'impermissible' as it exceeds the 2007 Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal's scope.
• The state argues Karnataka's unilateral action on the project violates the 2018 Supreme Court judgment and the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956, and requests the Union government to set up a tribunal.
• Tamil Nadu urges the Centre to halt the Mekedatu project and any new storage projects on the Cauvery or its tributaries, citing potential prejudicial effects on water flows.
