Cauvery agitation: Activists stage road-block; court arrest

October 6, 2012
Mangalore, October 6: Dozens of activists in the city courted arrest in the city on Saturday as part of ongoing state-wide agitation against the release of Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu.

 

Though the dawn-to-dusk 'Karnataka bandh' called by Kannada outfits did not have any impact on the normal life in coastal district, activists belonging to various organisations staged protests and road blocks in different parts of the city.

 

Members of Cauvery Horata Samiti in association with Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangh, Dakshina Kannada, Kodava Students' Association and other organisations formed a human chain at Hampankatta Circle blocking traffic for a couple of minutes.

 

However, police detained the protesters briefly and released after taking them to the station.

 

Prior to this, protesters took out a rally from Jyothi Circle raising slogans against Union government and state governments of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

 

Addressing the protesters, local unit president of Cauvery Horata Samithi SP Chengappa flayed the action of allotting greater share of the Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu and said that it is a great injustice to Karnataka which is the birth place of the river.

 

“Due to the release of Cauvery water, the drought condition in the state would worsen in the days to come”, he said adding that coastal Karnataka cannot the Cauvery issue, as people in this part also facing the conspiracy of Netravati River diversion. “Both the issues are interconnected with each other”, he pointed out.
