Local farmers' outfits staged an agitation in the city today against release of water to Tamil Nadu and demanded 'justice' for Karnataka at the Cauvery Regulatory Authority meeting at Delhi tomorrow.
Farmers' leaders took out a procession and staged a dharna, criticising the Centre for its "step-motherly" attitude towards the state.
The protesters said they would decide on their future course of action after knowing the decision taken at the CRA.
Hundreds of farmers from Mysore, Chamarajanagar, Mandya and Hassan districts, coming under the Cauvery catchment area had participated in a dharna yesterday.
The protesting farmers, led by KRRS President K S Puttannaiah had demanded the state panel ask CRA to evolve a distress water sharing formula between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, based on ground realities.
