PANJIM: Goa has filed a petition for extension of the term of the Mhadei Water Dispute Tribunal whose term expires on August 20, by one year.
Karnataka, however, has opposed the move. Karnataka’s objection says the tribunal has four months to deliver its verdict after the ongoing hearing ends in March. The tribunal, constituted on November 16, 2010, has got two extensions.
“If Goa wants another extension, the Act itself should be amended and this will only lead to an inordinate delay,” Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah said.
