Hundreds of farmers from Navalgund and Nargund in Karnataka came out on the street renewing their demands for implementation of the Kalasa-Banduri water diversion projects. Goa has been opposing the project over concerns about water security and the Mhadei river’s ecology.The Karnataka farmer protesters sought an urgent meeting of the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation to discuss implementation and warned of intensifying their agitation if the government fails to initiate action.
