They also seek removal of check-dam across the Markandeya
Demonstrating in front of the Collectorate here on Monday, members of Tamil Nadu Vivasaayigal Sangam submitted a petition to be forwarded to the Prime Minister through the Collector in protest against the Karnataka government’s move to construct a dam at Mekedatu and seeking removal of the check-dam constructed across the Markandeya that brings water to the South Pennai iver. The petitioners, led by former MLA and district president of Tamil Nadu Vivasaayigal Sangam S.V. Krishnan and district secretary P. Perumbadaiyar, said the inter-State river of Cauvery, which was feeding the ranches of 12 tail-end districts of Tamil Nadu and quenching the thirst of several crore population in a few more districts also, should not be treated as the property of Karnataka though it originated in the State.
