Cauvery bandh paralyses life in Karnataka
October 06, 2012  09:41

The anti-Cauvery water release bandh in Karnataka has hit normalcy in capital Bangalore and other parts of the state.  

 

Buses, cars, autorickshaws remain off the roads as schools and colleges are closed and petrol pumps remain shut.  

 

Meanwhile, former CM Yeddyurappa has attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, alleging that he has taken all crucial decisions from New Delhi without taking into consideration the ground realities. The PM wants to save his government, and thus favouring (Tamil Nadu CM) Jayalalithaa, he also alleges.    

 

With Cauvery-related protests spilling over to the city, police have tightened security to deal with the 'Karnataka Bandh' called by Kannada outfits on Saturday to protest the release of 9000 cusecs of Cauvery water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu.
