According to media source,Pro-Kannada outfits, political groups and farmers’ associations protesting the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu have called for a bandh in Bengaluru on Tuesday. The day-long shutdown is being backed by the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) Staff and Workers Federation and the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).
As per media reports, Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda has announced prohibitory orders under section 144 from September 25 midnight to September midnight in preparation for the bandh. Today’s Bengaluru bandh is likely to affect the transport services provided by KSRTC and BMTC.
As per a statement released by the KSRTC Staff and Workers Federation, over 195 taluks in the state are grappling with drought due to insufficient rain, rendering reservoirs inadequate for use. This situation has fueled the protest against releasing 5,000 cusecs of water from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu daily.
