Cauvery dispute: Farmers’ bodies demand removal of DKS as Water Resources Minister

Farmers’ outfits staged road blockades in Nanjangud and T. Narsipur in Mysuru district on Wednesday, September 20, to protest against the release of water to Tamil Nadu and demand the removal of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar as the Minister for Water Resources.

While farmers took out a procession and formed a human chain in T. Narsipur under the leadership of Karnataka State Sugarcane Farmers Association president Kurubur Shanthakumar, who also heads the Kabini Cauvery Struggle Committee, the activists of Federation of Karnataka State Farmers’ Associations in Nanjangud taluk gathered on National Highway leading to Ooty to voice their protest.

The farmers’ protest led to a road blockade at both the places for some time on Wednesday.
