Cauvery Water Dispute.. Karnataka Bandh Called for Today

Kannada organisations have called for a Karnataka bandh today in protest against the state government’s stand on the Cauvery water issue. Police have been put on high alert across the state, with security strengthened at key locations to prevent any untoward incidents during the bandh.

The bandh is expected to affect public transport, business and commercial activities in several areas. Police have stepped up surveillance in major cities and other sensitive locations, while authorities are monitoring the situation to minimise disruption to normal life.
