Pro Kannada activists stage protest in Mandya over Cauvery water issue
Pro Kannada activists staged protests with bottled water in Karnataka's Mandya on Monday, to oppose the government's move to release water to Tamil Nadu from Karnataka. The activists raised slogans as they stood in knee-deep water. Various farmers' bodies have been staging demonstrations in Mysuru, Mandya and Chamarajanagar in Cauvery heartland against the government's move of releasing water to Tamil Nadu, while the opposition parties have criticised the Congress government of "doing nothing" to protect the interests of Karnataka.
