Strange Fight.

Normally in river disputes the people in the downstream protest demanding release of water from the people living in upper stream or catchment areas. The present protest by people in Karnataka defies logic. How does it effect them if people in Tamil Nadu build dam to divert water for drinking purposes in drought prone districts. The dam will capture water which is released by Karnataka and in most cases it overflows once all the storages in that state are full and overflowing. In fact Tamil Nadu should protest for the numerous dams and canals built in Karnataka since 1950s under various world bank assisted schemes.
