Karnataka to see bandh today over Cauvery water row
The Daily Guardian
|September 29, 2023
A statewide bandh has been called for tomorrow in Karnataka under the leadership of veteran Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj.
The bandh, which has garnered support from hundreds of organisations, is being held to demand justice in the longstanding Cauvery water dispute. However, the bandh faces controversy as the government has cited Supreme Court directives against such shutdowns.
The bandh is scheduled to commence with a massive protest march originating from Town Hall at 10 am tomorrow, with participants rallying for Cauvery's cause. Subsequently, a protest meeting is planned at Freedom Park. Organisers have ensured all necessary preparations are in place for the demonstration.
In a swift response to the bandh call, City Police Commissioner Dayanand announced the imposition of a curfew in Bengaluru city starting at midnight today, which will remain in effect throughout tomorrow. This curfew is part of measures aimed at preventing any untoward incidents during the bandh. Dayanand stressed the deployment of heightened police security across the city.
