Centre to set up single tribunal to decide inter-state water disputes

The Union government has taken the call of setting up a single committee to hear all the inter-state river water disputes.
●    The government has proposed the creation of one permanent Tribunal. It will be chaired by a retired judge of the Supreme Court.
●    In comparison to earlier tribunals that took very long to deliver the final verdict, this tribunal will be expected to deliver its verdict within three years.
●    Apart from this, the government has also proposed to set up a Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) comprising experts and policy makers. 
●    The DRC will be expected to handle the water disputes before they go to the Tribunal. 
●    The DRC will be formed by the centre at the request of a state. Most disputes will be expected to be solved at the DRC level itself.
