Groups Urge Buffalo Owners to Boycott Mysuru Dasara Kambala Over Drought Concerns
Karnataka Rajya Raita Sangha and allied groups have urged buffalo owners from coastal districts to boycott the Mysuru Dasara Kambala scheduled for October 18-19, citing severe drought and water scarcity in over 200 taluks, including Mysuru. They highlight that the event consumes large amounts of water amid acute shortages and that the chosen venue, originally a park, has suffered environmental damage. Organisers and government are called upon to reconsider the event to prioritize water conservation and farmer hardships.
