'Karnataka Bandh' affects normal life
The dawn-to-dusk 'Karnataka bandh' called by Kannada outfits to protest the release of Cauvery water into Tamil Nadu on Saturday disrupted normal life in the city.
AS PER reports, the bandh evoked good response, affecting normal life in Bangalore, and Cauvery basin districts of Mandya, Mysore, Hassan and Chamarajanagar.
Mysore-Bangalore highway had to be closed due to 30 demonstrations held over the last 24 hours. Trains were also stopped over the last week several times by the demonstrators.
The central study team will investigate the water levels and provide a report to the Supreme Court in a week’s time. Security has been tightened at the famous Krishnaraja Sagar Dam to ensure no untoward incident occurs. Peaceful protests were also held over the last week by various organizations.

"Bandhs" should be made illegal. There are thousands of ways to protest. Disrupting other people's lives in name of protest should not be allowed. In a state like Karnataka, where Bangalore is a prime destination for Corporates across the world, such attitude will hurt the corporate sentiments. Look what happened to West Bengal, are we aiming to make Karnataka the same?

i feel there should be a central authority to manage water resources, augmentation and distribution to various. states as per requirements some times there are floods causing damage in some states while there is drought in other states. a national planning to solve the problem should be taken up to connect various rivers where ever technically and financially feasible.

everyone has right to protest when their resources are being taken..
