The chief ministers of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are to meet on November 29 (Thursday) in Bangalore to find a solution to the Cauvery water sharing dispute.

A statement from the Tamil Nadu Government says that the Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa will travel to Banglore on Thursday to meet her Karnataka counterpart and hold talks on the Cauvery water dispute.

The meeting comes after the Supreme Court on Monday suggested that the two chief ministers meet to find a solution to the problem.

Tamil Nadu had approached the Supreme Court to give a direction to the Karnataka Government to release Cauvery water for samba cultivation.
