New Delhi, Dec 27 (ANI): MPs from Karnataka staged protest outside the Parliament on Thursday. The protest was regarding Mekedatu project. The MPs were seen shouting slogans, ‘We want Mekadatu’, in front of Gandhi statue. Karnataka government intends to build a reservoir across river Cauvery near Mekedatu taluk. However, the state of Tamil Nadu has raised objection saying, Karnataka did not seek prior permission from it. Both the states already have a long history of river water dispute. Many agreements have earlier been signed to settle the Cauvery water dispute. Earlier this year, a landmark verdict came out over the Cauvery issue, which pronounced judgement over the amount of water that would be received by both the states, but the issue is still ensuing.
