Vatal Nagaraj has announced that if the Karnataka government does not start the Mekedatu dam construction activities, the work will be started by his team, besides also warning that tomorrow a protest will be organised at Athipalli.
Cauvery river water sharing has been a problem that has been existing between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka for long, and is still an unresolved issue. The political parties also thrive on these issues, and despite formation of various committees, every time a legal battle takes place, and following a verdict, another struggle happens to implement the verdict.
Irrespective of the decisions of court, there are several politicians and politically motivated people who keep exploiting the situation and Vatal Nagaraj is one among them. Vatal Nagaraj has been known for his anti-Tamil activities, and now he has said in an interview that if the Karnataka govt does not begin construction of Mekedatu dam, he will start it, and a strike will be organised at Athipalli in TN - Karnataka border. Due to this announcement of strike, a tense situation prevails in TN border.
