Farmers Demand Water Release from Bhadra Reservoir for Plantations
The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Green Brigade have urged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to release water from the Bhadra reservoir to protect plantation crops. The reservoir holds 55.734 tmcft of water, with 33 tmcft available for irrigation after reserving water for drinking and dead storage. Farmers face drought challenges and seek immediate water release through canals to save crops, warning of agitation if demands are unmet.
