Karnataka bandh over Cauvery issue disrupts normal life in Bengaluru and southern parts of state

Bengaluru, September 29

The Karnataka bandh called by the ‘Kannada Okkoota’ to oppose release of water to Tamil Nadu received a good response in Bengaluru and other southern parts of the state on Friday, disrupting normal life.

Authorities have clamped prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code in Bengaluru Urban, Mandya, Mysuru, Chamarajanagara, Ramanagara and Hassan districts, and declared a holiday for schools and colleges there.

‘Kannada Okkoota’ is an umbrella organisation of Kannada and farmers’ outfits. A Bengaluru bandh was observed over the same reason on Tuesday.
