The Tamilaga Vivasayigal Sangam staged a demonstration in front of the Thanjavur Railway Junction on Saturday protesting against the bandh called by Karnataka parties in that State over the Mekedatu issue.
Led by the Sangam Thanjavur district president R. Sukumar, the protesters raised slogans denouncing the Karnataka government for trying to illegally build the reservoirs at Mekedatu, the Centre for not reining in the errant upper riparian State, and the Tamil Nadu Government for not taking adequate steps to stop the project and prevent Cauvery delta farmers.
Sangam vice-president Jayapal and secretary Shaktivel spoke.
