The video has gathered hundreds of responses from people across social media. Many people can be seen finding a reason behind holding dead rats.
As a part of protest, farmers are demanding the release of river water into their state. On the other hand, pro-Kannada outfits, and farmers in Karnataka’s Mandya also continued to agitate.
The DMK has said that Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin is doing everything possible to handle the issue diplomatically. The Karnataka government’s argument is that it does not have enough water to send to its neighbouring state.
