Some residents of Jat taluk in Maharashtra have spoken against the delay in providing drinking water and irrigation facilities by the government to the taluk. Protesters have warned of forming a Karnataka Ekikaran Samiti and launching an agitation to merge the taluk into Karnataka, if the Maharashtra government does not expedite irrigation projects.
Members of Jatt Taluk Irrigation Agitation Committee held a meeting in Jat on Sunday to discuss the issue. They criticised the Maharashtra government for neglecting their demands for drinking water supply and irrigation facilities.
