CPI-M slams Centre over Mekedatu stand, plans Aug 2 protest

This statement is considered a betrayal of the state's agricultural interests and water rights. The party announced a massive protest across Cauvery Delta districts on August 2. Karnataka's BJP unit also plans a protest in Mandya on July 31. The Mekedatu dam construction poses a significant risk to Tamil Nadu's water share.
