There will no bundh in Belagavi on Thursday, say Kannada organisations
Kannada organisations in Belagavi have announced they will not participate in the 'Karnataka bandh' called by Vatal Nagaraj and other leaders over the release of water from the Cauvery river to Tamil Nadu on Thursday. However, they pledged to provide moral support to the cause after a meeting held in the city on Wednesday. A separate protest demanding a faster approval of the Mahadayi project is planned.
The decision was made unanimously by various Kannada organizations, including the Kittur Karnataka Sene. One of the participants noted that Nagaraj had agreed to include the Mahadayi issue in his demands during his Belagavi visit, but it was omitted in subsequent meetings.
