New Delhi, Mar 7 (UNI) The Lok Sabha was adjourned for 25 minutes today as members from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka trooped into the well shouting slogans for and against the final recommendations of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal.

The adjournment, from 1320 hrs to 1345 hrs, came during a debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address.

Participating in the resumed discussion on the motion, Mr Ananth Kumar (BJP) sought the Centre's intervention on the issue as the Tribunal had, through its recommendations, handed out total ''injustice'' to Karnataka, particularly its farmers.

He said the Centre should refrain from issuing a gazette notification on the recommendations and wondered why Tamil Nadu MPs were shying away from a structured debate in Parliament on the issue.

The BJP leader also wanted a national water law to ensure equitable distribution of river waters among the riparian states.

Even as Mr Ananth Kumar was making his points, DMK and other members belonging to the Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) from Tamil Nadu rushed to the well.

This prompted BJP members from Karnataka to step into the other side of the well and raise counter slogans.

Sensing the mood of the members, Deputy Speaker Charnjit Singh Atwal ajourned the House for 25 minutes.
