Mandya: The state government on Friday deployed additional forces to tighten security around Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) Dam as the farmers protest entered eighth days in Mandya.

It is also gathered that the state police has instructed tourists to avoid visiting the reservoir on Friday as the farmers are expected to stage a protest.

Tamil Nadu, which too has been grappling with the scarcity of water, last week, demanded in a CWMA meeting that 9.19 TMC feet of water should be released immediately in accordance with the recent decision of the committee, following which the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) asked state government to release nearly 40.43 thousand million cubic feet water to Tamil Nadu for the months of June and July.

Opposing the decision of the Cauvery Water Management Authority the farmers in Mandya on June 21 started protest demanding diversion of Cauvery and Hemavati waters to their canals in order to save their produce.
