Mysore/Mysuru: Even as bandh is being observed in the State capital Bengaluru, opposing release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, series of protests were staged at various parts of Mysuru city by several organisations today, criticising the State Government’s decision to release water to TN.
Activists of Cauvery Kriya Samithi (Cauvery Action Committee) staged a protest near Head Post Office on Irwin Road, Nehru Circle, by wearing black bands on their arms and shouting slogans against the Government. “Rivers Cauvery and Kapila belong to our State. Giving water of these rivers to other State is a grave injustice to us. The Karnataka Government must properly convince the Supreme Court about the serious water shortage in the Reservoirs,” said the protestors and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately intervene in the matter.
