Chennai: Defending the Tamil Nadu goverment, fisheries minister D, Jayakumar said the Centre's stand seeking more time to set up the Cauvery Management Board (CMB) was not acceptable and the top court has been informed about it.

“It may be any government (Centre or States), the Supreme Court order is binding..how long can they delay (fulfilling court directive to set up the Cauvery Management Board or release of water)” he asked.
