The Cauvery Kriya Samiti launched an indefinite agitation on Monday opposing the alleged injustice to Karnataka in the Cauvery dispute.
The samiti members garlanded the statue of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar at K.R. Circle in Mysuru in the presence of several pro-Kannada activists and JD(S) MLC C.N. Manje Gowda and former Mayor R. Lingappa to symbolically announce the start of its struggle.
Chief convener of the samiti Mugur Nanjundaswamy said it will revive its struggle, which began in the nineties, and the agitation will continue till the State government stops releasing water to Tamil Nadu at the cost of the drinking water requirements of the people of Karnataka and the crops of its farmers.
