Night-Long Protest Over Cauvery Water-Sharing By Karnataka Farmers
A group of farmers in Karnataka are holding a night-long candle-light vigil to protest against orders to release of Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu. The protest in Mandya -- near Srirangapatna -- started Wednesday morning. Their objection is to the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee's recommendation that Karnataka release 5000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for the 15 days.
