In Coimbatore, farmers submit petition to Collector
A group of farmers belonging to the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam, affiliated to the Communist Party of India, staged a demonstration here on Monday, urging the Centre not to allow Karnataka to build a dam across the Cauvery at Mekedatu. Led by Sangam district secretary Ayilai Sivasuriyan, the farmers also urged the Centre to remove the dam across Markandeya river near Yargol in Karnataka. They said that if the dam came into operation, it would reduce the volume of water flowing into the Thenpennai, thus battering agriculture in northern Tamil Nadu. Police sources said around 65 persons took part in the protest.
