In an interim order, the apex court on Monday had asked the Karnataka government to release 15,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu over a period of ten days.

The ripples of the SC’s directive travelled across the water-starved state, culminating in a massive protest. Agitated citizens want the govt to consider the plight of the distraught farmers of the state.
