Farmers’ protest against release of Cauvery water continues

The farmers’ protest against release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu continued at the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) site for the second day on Thursday.

The protest, launched by Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS), has evoked strong response from the agricultural community who assembled at Mandya, Srirangapatna, and other centres in Mandya district to express their ire against the release of water.

The Cauvery Water Management Authority on Tuesday directed Karnataka to release water at the rate of 5,000 cusecs per day to Tamil Nadu for 15 days, and the State complying with it began releasing water, triggering the protest.
