Bengaluru: The five-day padayatra demanding immediate implementation of the contentious Mekedatu project culminated here last night with a massive rally and a meeting at the National College Grounds.
The Congress had launched the 165-km ‘Namma Neeru Namma Hakku’ (our water, our right) padayatra on Jan. 9 and it was originally scheduled to end on Jan. 19. However, the party was forced to halt it temporarily amid rising COVID cases in the State and a rap from the High Court. The ‘padayatra 2.0’ resumed last Sunday and covered a total distance of 79.8 kilometres.
