The protests are still continuing in Tamil Nadu over the Cauvery water management, even going as far as disrupting the IPL match.
And now the state has raised slogans against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Narendra Modi’s Tamil Nadu visit on Thursday would be without any public road drive as some opposition parties and Tamil outfits plan to show black flags to protest against the center for not constituting the Cauvery Management Board despite the Supreme Court order.
The PM has arrived in Chennai for the launch of a massive military exhibition in Chennai on behalf of the Defense Ministry.
Defense Ministry’s 10th grand exhibition is being held in Chennai to boost India’s military logistics and increase exports to foreign countries. The 47 countries are equipped with military equipment manufacturers. The exhibition is also underway in the seminars of industrial production.
