India, June 20 -- The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Friday adopted a unanimous resolution against Karnataka's move to construct a dam across the river Cauvery at Mekedatu, expressing support for all measures undertaken by the State Government on the issue.

Chief Minster C Joseph Vijay piloted the government resolution over the nearly 13-year-long dispute with the neighbouring State, with the members of the opposition, including Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin and AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, backing the Government.

The Congress too supported the ruling TVK in the Assembly, taking a contradictory stand opposing the Karnataka Congress Government, which is keen on pursuing the balancing reservoir project.
