Karnataka CM Siddaramaih on Wednesday said that the cabinet has decided to defer release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. Karnataka CM made the announcement after a cabinet meeting, which was held after Siddaramaih consulted with other leaders in an all-party meeting. BJP boycotted the all-party meet saying that assembly session should be called immediately. On Tuesday, Supreme Court had directed Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu till September 27.
Siddaramaih said that they have decided to defer releasing water to Tamil Nadu. He also said:
Cabinet decided to request Governor of Karnataka to convene both the houses on 23rd September 2016 at 11 am: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah.

Karnataka will have to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water per day to Tamil Nadu till September 27, the Supreme Court had yesterday said while raising the 3,000 cusecs fixed by the Supervisory Committee.
A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and U U Lalit has also directed the Centre to constitute within four weeks the Cauvery Water Management Board as directed by the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal in its award.
Chief Minister Siddaramaih had termed the Supreme Court's order as "unimplementable" on Tuesday. Sporadic protests have continued in the river basin districts, especially Mandya, the epicentre of the Cauvery agitation since morning, where the agitators have blocked Bengaluru-Mysuru road at various places.
Government, which has appealed for peace, has made elaborate security arrangements in the city and southern districts to ensure that no untoward incidents happen.
State Reserve Police, City Armed Reserve Police, Rapid Action Force and Quick Reaction Teams have been deployed all over city, where prohibitory orders under section 144 of CrpC is in force. City police has prohibited sale of liquor and opening of bars, wine shops and pubs from 6 AM today to 1 AM tomorrow in the commissionerate limits.
