Cauvery row: As Vatal Nagaraj announces Karnataka bandh tomorrow, many organisations back off

A bandh called for Thursday has revealed the rift among Kannada organizations. While the protest aims to address the Cauvery Water Management Authority's directive on water release, several transport and educational groups have opted out of participating. In contrast, certain farmer organizations have shown support, citing feelings of injustice. This fragmentation is likely to diminish the overall effectiveness of the bandh in achieving its goals.
