Tamizhaga Cauvery Vivasayigal Sangam, a prominent association of farmers in Tamil Nadu, has announced plans to protest against the Mekedatu dam project in neighboring Karnataka. The decision to stage a protest was taken at the association's recent meeting at Mannargudi, where the general secretary, P. R. Pandian, emphasized the need to press the demand for the project's withdrawal. According to Pandian, the previous DMK regime in Tamil Nadu is responsible for the current development in the Mekedatu issue, which has led to the Karnataka government's firm decision to construct a dam across the Cauvery river.
