00:00 Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are not stopping the ongoing Kaveri water distribution dispute.
00:13 The Karnataka government of the Kaveri Water Distribution Committee has increased the issue
00:20 by recommending the Tamil Nadu to stop water distribution.
00:23 The farmers of Karnataka have started protesting against the water distribution of Tamil Nadu.
00:30 A farmer's group from Mandya stood in the river water and protested against the government and chanted slogans.
00:39 Some farmers from Mandya also sat on Sanjay Circle and blocked the road and chanted slogans against the government.
00:48 The Karnataka Deputy CM D.K. Shivkumar and the former Chief Minister H.D.Kumarswamy have expressed their opinions on the issue of Kaveri water distribution.
01:03 There is about 98 TMC of water should have been left. We have left only 37 TMC of water because there is no water.
01:16 More than 130 years in this last August, September, such a worst situation has not arised. There is a very serious drought we have been facing in the last two months.
01:34 Even in the Malnad and other parts of the state, we never expected that more than 100 years, especially in this month, that we have gone to the records.
01:44 Last year it was almost four times what we had. But this year we will put down. I will place the fact before the committee.
01:55 We have already instructed our legal team to just wait for our decision. We will discuss and we will take action.
02:01 The next decision taken by the Central Water Management Board. Here we are facing the water scarcity.
02:11 Our state government announced to the farming community not to cultivate the crop this year.
02:21 We are facing a lot of problems. Even in the future, in Bangalore city, drinking water will be a big issue.
02:28 Why is the Central Water Management Board pressuring Tamil Nadu? Why is it giving direction to the Karnataka government to release the water?
02:42 I request this government, I demand, you please reject the Central Water Management Board decision.
02:50 What they have given yesterday, you reject it.
