Representatives of farmers’ organisations opposing the release of Cauvery water from KRS reservoir to Tamil Nadu attempted to block the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway at Induvala in Mandya on Tuesday.
However, the police foiled their attempt by barricading their entry and arresting them. “They were not allowed to block the highway,” said a police official.
In response to a call for blocking the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, several activists of farmers’ organisations reached Induvala in Mandya district in bullock carts on Tuesday.
