Karnataka bandh evokes lukewarm response in Mysuru

The Karnataka bandh against the directive to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu saw a muted response in Mysuru city on August 13, 2023. Shops and commercial establishments remained open, while schools and colleges operated as usual. KSRTC buses and autorickshaws functioned without disruption. While pro-Kannada activists and some members of the Cauvery Action Committee attempted to block buses, they were taken into preventive custody.

Normal life in the city largely remained unaffected by the symbolic protests. KSRTC officials reported that bus services were running smoothly despite the bandh.
