Farmers and members of various organisations led by religious heads took out a padayatra in Hubballi on Monday demanding immediate steps to get works under Kalasa Banduri Nala Project cleared to quench the thirst of residents of Hubballi Dharwad.
Starting from Moorusavir Mutt in Hubballi, the protestors marched to the Mini Vidhana Soudha through the thoroughfares of the city in a bid to highlight the long-pending issue and pressurise the State and Union governments to get the works initiated at the earliest.
The padayatra was organised by Raita Sena, which is leading the agitation over Kalasa Banduri Nala Project for the last eight years. Scores of organisations, including that of autorickshaw drivers, and activists extended support to the agitation and took part in it on Monday.
