Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], Apr 11 (NT): Following Inauguration ceremony of Defense Expo 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was greeted with black flags and black balloons upon his arrival in Chennai on Thursday as ANI reported.

The protestors expressed their rant and rave against the Centre for not constituting the Cauvery Management Board (CMB) at the airport in Alandur area to protest against the Prime Minister's arrival to the city.

The black flag protest was organized by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) , who is working president MK Stalin. In the protest some other opposition parties and Tamil outfits of the state are also involved.

However, before Prime Minister Modi touched Chennai soil, some of the demonstrators, including Thamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi leader Velmurugan, were booked.

The Prime Minister came here to address the 10th edition of Defence Expo in the city.

 Worth mention here on February 16, the court had ordered the Central government to set up the CMB and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) within six weeks, in regard to the Cauvery River water heated discussion between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

The non-compliance of the top court's order has triggered protests across the state.

On Tuesday, some of the protestors were detained after they tried to bring a halt an IPL match held at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium.
