Karnataka Congress decides to postpone Mekedatu Padayatra

Bengaluru, Jan 13: Karnataka Congress's 10-day 'padyatra' (march), demanding implementation of the Mekedatu project across the Cauvery river, has been postponed.

Senior State Congress leaders hold a meeting in Ramanagara to discuss the future course of action regarding Mekedatu Padayatra in wake of the cancellation of permission for the padayatra's final event in Bengaluru & the high court's observation.

Meanwhile, several Congress leaders have tested positive for Covid-19, sparking fears of a 'super spread' of the disease amid the densely-packed rally.
