The situation had became more worse after the Central Government failed to stand on the orders of Supreme court for constituting the Cauvery Management Board that which was considered as a long-term need of Tamil Cauvery delta people and later turned as a need of whole Tamil Nadu by considering a right over the interstate river that flows from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Pondicherry.
