    TIRUCHY: “Cauvery would get water only when it rains in the catchment areas. So let all of us pray for good rains in the region,” said the Union Minister for Heavy Industries HD Kumaraswamy here on Monday.

An interaction with the officials would be organised in the plant in which various developmental factors would be discussed.

    “If it rains there, there would be an adequate flow of water in the Cauvery. So pray for good rains in the catchment areas as I did in the temple and do not politicise the Cauvery issue,” the Minister said.
