Karnataka bandh called off after Kannada activists meet CM DK Shivakumar
The Cauvery water dispute remains a politically sensitive issue in Karnataka, with farmers' groups and Kannada organisations repeatedly staging protests over the matter.
Kannada activists have withdrawn their statewide bandh call after meeting with Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday. The Chief Minister expressed gratitude for their decision, noting that it was the first day of the Assembly session following his appointment. The bandh was originally called by Kannada organisations over the Cauvery water-sharing dispute, however protests were reported in Mandya district while normal life largely remained unaffected in Bengaluru and Mysuru.
