After Cauvery protests, all IPL matches shifted out of Chennai: Sources
Chidambaram Stadium - Cauvery row
The protests were against what people saw as the Centre's tardiness in forming a Cauvery Managment Board
After days of uncertainty, Indian Premier League matches to be held in Chennai has now been shifted to another venue due to the ongoing Cauvery protest.
People are protesting against the Centre's negligence for the formation of Cauvery Management Board (CMB).
With Tamil Nadu's Cauvery river water sharing row with Karnataka hotting up, there were speculations that a few IPL matches of the present season might be shifted to Kerala.
However, IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla had denied such reports saying he spoke to the concerned authorities, who assured him to provide adequate security during the matches in Chennai.
The Supreme Court, in its ruling in the matter earlier, had reduced Tamil Nadu's share in the Cauvery water to 177.25 thousand million cubic feet.
On February 16, the court had ordered the central government to set up the CMB and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) within six weeks.

Thereafter, Tamil Nadu moved a contempt plea in the Supreme Court, seeking action against the Centre for allegedly failing to form the CMB within the prescribed time limit of six weeks.
On March 31, the Central Government filed a clarification petition in the apex court seeking more time to form the board and asked whether it could modify its composition.
On a related note, the top court on Monday is slated to hear Tamil Nadu's contempt petition against the Centre for not forming the Cauvery Water Management Board.
