Traffic between Bengaluru and Mysuru was disrupted for a while on Tuesday with Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene members holding roadblock agitations at many places on Bengaluru-Mysuru highway.
Their demands were to immediately discharge Cauvery and Hemavati waters to canals to save standing crops that were withering on several thousands of acres in the district; to announce/sanction special packages to the farming community that has been consecutively facing drought situations; and to initiate measures against harassments being faced by defaulter-farmers from banks.
