Mahanadi tribunal in state for on-ground assessment

A Mahanadi Water Disputes Tribunal delegation, led by Justice Bela M Trivedi, is on a five-day Odisha visit for on-ground assessments concerning the Odisha-Chhattisgarh water sharing dispute. While the state advocate general assures Odisha's interests are protected, activists protested the tribunal's "luxurious tour," citing past expenses and the upcoming end of its tenure.
