A group of youths from Karnataka staged a protest here on Friday against the Supreme Courts direction to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
The protestors, under the aegis of Mandya Youth Group, gathered at Jantar Mantar and demanded that the Centre intervene in the matter.
Following the release of water to Tamil Nadu, several cities in Karnataka, including Bengaluru and Mysuru, will face drinking water crises, said Anil Anand, president Mandya Youth Group. Guru Raj Kumar, grandson of Kannada matinee idol the late Raj Kumar, also participated in the protest. With the water in reservoirs in Karnataka is depleting due to shortfall in monsoon, the Centre should send a team to study the ground situation in the state, Guru Rajkumar said.
