Farmers led by Ayyakannu, president of the National South Indian Rivers Inter-Linking Farmers Association, staged a unique protest in the Cauvery River near Mambazha Salai in Tiruchirappalli against Karnataka's proposed Mekedatu dam project. As part of the demonstration, farmers partially buried themselves in the river sand before sitting neck-deep in the waters of the Cauvery. They raised slogans such as “Save the farmers” and “Do not construct the Mekedatu dam”, expressing concerns over the project's potential impact on water availability for Tamil Nadu. The protest is part of a long-standing opposition by farmers' groups to the proposed dam, which they fear could affect the state's share of Cauvery water. #TamilNadu #Ayyakannu #MekedatuDam #CauveryRiver #FarmersProtest #Tiruchirappalli #Karnataka #WaterDispute #Cauvery #Farmers #TamilNaduNews #Protest #IndiaNews #LatestNews #BreakingNews The Indian Express covers a wide spectrum of national and international news, including daily updates, political developments, election coverage, gadget and mobile reviews, technology updates, entertainment news, Bollywood trends, sports news and public opinions on daily topics.
