Bengaluru witnessed a city-wide bandh on Tuesday in protest of the release of Cauvery water to the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu

The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee's direction to Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu will be challenged before the Supreme Court, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday.

BJP leaders held a protest against the Karnataka government over Cauvery water release to Tamil Nadu, in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

CWRC's recommendation came on the day of the Bengaluru bandh called by farmers and pro-Kannada organisations and backed by the BJP and JD(S), over the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu

These committees have to review the first, second and third language textbooks for Kannada, along with the social science textbooks, as per the guidelines of the National Curriculum Framework-2005

Initially, Karnataka provided 2,500 cusecs of water per day and the quantum was increased to 3,000 cusecs per day

Tamil Nadu is continuing to receive water from Karnataka and as of today, the state has received 7,000 cusecs of water, state Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan said on Tuesday.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said here on Tuesday, adding that the protest is neither in the interest of the state nor the people.

H D Kumaraswamy flayed the Congress government in the state for alleged detention of farmers and Kannada activists participating in the 'bandh' here to protest the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.

The protestors demanded the sharing of Cauvery water to save the standing 'kuruvai' crop cultivation in TN

Karnataka Police on Tuesday morning took more than 20 people into custody in Bengaluru for violating Section 144 orders

Farmer bodies, Kannada organisations, and opposition parties have called for a 'Bandh' today in the city

Bengaluru Urban District Collector KA Dayanand has announced a public holiday for all schools and colleges in the city in view of the Bandh

Bandh will cause disruption to normal life in the city, with schools, colleges, government offices, banks, ATMs, public and private transport, shops, commercial establishments, and restaurants and hotels expected to be closed.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar stated that leaders from the BJP and JD(S), who were disgruntled by the alliance, were coming forward to join the Congress.

The state Congress President also indicated that the Congress' list of candidates for the Lok Sabha polls is likely to be finalised before January

Farmers across Karnataka have been protesting since the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) ordered the state to release 5000 cusecs of water to its neighbouring state Tamil Nadu, for 15 days, effective from September 13.

The Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act, 2020, passed by the previous BJP government in the state, designates cattle as “cow, calf of a cow and bull, bullock and he or she buffalo”, stating that their slaughter is banned.
