Chennai, Sept 30: Protesting against non-release of Cauvery waters to the state by Karnataka, the delta areas of Tamil Nadu today observed a day-long bandh, despite an appeal by the Chief Minister Jayalalithaa not to go ahead with it. Many shops and business establishments remained closed in Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam districts, the main delta areas in the state, official sources here said.
The bandh call was given by the Tamil Nadu farmers association, led by Dr M R Sivasamy.
