MANDYA (KARNATAKA): As protests against Cauvery water release to Tamil Nadu continued in the district on Sunday, the local administration banned entry of tourists inside the Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir — popularly known as KRS — complex till February 13 as a precautionary measure.

Prohibitory orders which were in force in and around KRS from February 7 till this morning, had been extended by another three days, police sources told PTI.

Security has been beefed up and nearly 300 police personnel were guarding the dam, a famous tourist attraction, police said.

Karnataka began releasing water from the KRS yesterday complying with the Supreme Court order directing it to supply 2.44 tmc ft to Tamil Nadu to save the standing "samba" paddy crop in the delta districts.

The district administration warned agitating farmers that if they defied prohibitary orders, appropriate action will be initiated against them in accordance with law.

President of Cauvery protection committee G Madegowda demanded the resignation of chief minister Jagadish Shettar for his "failure" to protect the interest of the state's farmers.

The BJP government has decided to file a petition in the apex court tomorrow seeking reivew of its order citing depleted storage in Karnataka reservoirs.
