What happened: Vijay asks Prime Minister Narendra Modi to review the Union government’s stand on Mekedatu
Actor-politician Vijay urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider the Union government’s position on the proposed Mekedatu dam project. The request is connected to Tamil Nadu’s continued political and legal objections.
Background: Tamil Nadu’s opposition and its focus on inter-state water rights
Tamil Nadu has opposed the proposed Mekedatu dam project, arguing that river-basin decisions should respect inter-state water rights and safeguard downstream interests. The opposition is described as both political and legal, with related proceedings accompanying the policy dispute.
What changed now: a public call to review the central position
