“The violence in the neighbouring States of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in the wake of the direction of the Supreme Court to release Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu is quite disturbing. Such violence cannot be justified on any ground.
A large number of people from both the States live in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and have been making significant contribution to the development of the State of their choice of living. They should not be made to feel insecure as it is the Constitutional right of every citizen to live in his/her place of choice in the country.
Violence and counter-violence would only further complicate the matters and not in the interest of any State. Both the State Governments should take effective measures to check the violence immediately.
