Mysore/Mysuru: Stating that heavy rains had resulted in crop loss during monsoon last year, farmers under the banner of State Sugarcane Growers’ Association staged a protest in front of CADA Office here yesterday morning, demanding authorities to release Cauvery and Kabini water stored in reservoirs to grow summer crops.
They said that following copious rains last year, the reservoirs were full and if water is released from the reservoirs to canals in the first week of February, it would help the farmers to make up for the losses.
