State should not remain a mute spectator on Mekedatu issue: farmers

Central governments’ irresolute stand on this issue might deprive the State’s right over Cauvery water
Delta farmers have exhorted the Tamil Nadu government to prevent Karnataka government’s intention to impound Cauvery water by constructing a dam at Mekedatu in the initial stage itself.
The State government should not remain a mute spectator to the current developments as in the past when the upper riparian State had constructed more dams in addition to the main Krishnaraja Sagar Dam. Under the present scenario, any inertness on the part of the Tamil Nadu would pave the way for the Cauvery delta region in Tamil Nadu turning a rain-fed cultivable area, they claimed.
