Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has made a significant decision to not move the Supreme Court regarding the Mhadei river water dispute. Instead, he has opted to amend the rules to protect Goa’s interests under Section 17(2) of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956. This move comes after the previous CM, Pramod Sawant, had decided to approach the Supreme Court to challenge the Mhadei Water Disputes Tribunal’s award, which allowed Karnataka to divert water from the Mhadei river. Sawant’s decision to focus on amending the rules rather than going to the Supreme Court aims to safeguard Goa’s water resources and maintain the state’s share of the Mhadei river water. This development is crucial for the state of Goa, as the Mhadei river is a vital source of water for its residents and agriculture. By choosing this alternative route, Sawant is prioritizing Goa’s interests and upholding the state’s rights over its water resources. This decision is expected to have a positive impact on the ongoing water dispute and ensure that Goa’s water security is protected.
