The Hindu
Congress leaders took the decision in the light of the High Court’s observations about violation of Covid-19 norms and the Karnataka government banning the padayatra
The Congress padayatra from Mekedatu to Bengaluru seeking early implementation of the Mekedatu drinking water project came to an abrupt end at Ramanagaram on January 13 after the party decided to temporarily halt the agitation in the light of the Karnataka High Court’s observations and a surge in COVID-19 cases. The party will resume the padayatra after the pandemic is brought under control.
The decision was taken on the fifth day of the padayatra after several rounds of consultations among senior Congress leaders, including Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah, KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar and senior leader B.K. Hariprasad, at Ramanagaram.
