NDTV
To raise their demand, the protesters have organised a march at 11 am on Tuesday from Town Hall to Mysore Bank Circle.
Farmers outfits and pro-Kannada organisations have jointly declared a strike across Bengaluru on Tuesday demanding that the state government does not release water to Tamil Nadu. To raise their demand, a protest march is scheduled at 11 am on Tuesday from Town Hall to Mysore Bank Circle.
The protesters disagree with the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA)'s order asking the Karnataka government to release 5,000 cusecs water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu for 15 days.
Kuruburu Shanthakumar, state Sugarcane Farmers Association president, has appealed to schools, colleges, IT companies, and the film chamber to grant a day off. He also requested the state government to look into the issue at a special assembly session.
On Tuesday, public transportation, shops, banks, offices, restaurants, schools, and colleges are likely to stay closed.
