Musicians flay Centre for failing to form CMB

Over 50 musicians from Puducherry and Tamil Nadu staged a novel protest by playing various musical instruments in front of the Swadeshi mills on Maraimalai Adigal Salai to protest against the Centre’s failure to constitute the Cauvery Management Board as directed by the Supreme Court.

The musicians led by B. Ananthan performed for over five hours. The agitators raised slogans against the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre and said that it would incur the wrath of the people of Puducherry and Tamil Nadu for failing to abide by the Supreme Court.

Mr. Ananthan said that farmers in Karaikal region in Puducherry and delta districts in Tamil Nadu were suffering for want of Cauvery water and demanded the Centre to expedite the formation of the CMB.
