MYSORE: The Centre government's notification of the controversial final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal led to violence with pro-Kannada organization attacking railway property.
Angry activists attached to Karnataka Rakshana Vedike on Wednesday suddenly raided the Mysore divisional railway manager's office on Irwin road and damaged glass doors to mark their protest against the Union and Tamil Nadu governments. They also hurled stones on the first floor which damaged window panes, the police stated. Nineteen activists were arrested by Mandi police on charges of rioting and destruction of public property. One person is injured in the incident.
The cops have booked the accused on sections 143 (unlawful assembly), 144 (unlawful assembly armed with deadly weapons), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapons), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharging of his duty), 427, 506 (criminal intimidation) and 149 (unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common objection) of the IPC.
Upset with the Centre's move, the pro-Kannada activists arrived at DRM Office complex and sneaked inside from Dewan's road side though two Railway Protection Force cops tried to stop them. The group of some ten activists started shouting slogans and hurled stones at the glass doors on the first floor. An eye witness told TOI another group hurled stones at the offices. Later they staged protest at the site when they were picked up by the Mysore police for interrogation. They were later arrested. Though security was beefed up at the DRM office and the Mysore railway station adjoining it, the protestors managed to sneak inside. Police commissioner K L Sudheer and DCP (L&O) BasavarajMalagatti rushed to the site and controlled the situation.
This comes on a day when Congress leaders blamed BJP government for the notification of the final award. Opposition leader Siddaramaiah said the state government has informed that apex court that it has no objection to the notification of the final award. It was pending since 2007. As the state government green signaled it, the Centre has to notify it following the direction from the Supreme Court, he argued. Siddaramaiah, who hails from Cauvery basin, said the government has failed to put up its case at the apex court but said the all-party delegation has asked the Centre not to go in for Cauvery Management Board. Mysore MP Adagooru H Vishwanath said legal team arguing Karnataka's case was not updated with data by the state. The government didn't object to the issue of notification as it was following the BJP high command's directive. "The BJP wants to get closer to AIADMK led by TN CM J Jayalalithaa ahead of the parliamentary polls at the cost of protecting the interests of the farmers," he argued.
