Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressing the media on Cauvery issue.

-- We have been facing injustice on Cauvery Issue for a very long time.

-- The inability to implement the September 5 judgment (of the Supreme Court) is the reason why yesterdays direction came from the SC.

-- But we have had to deal with the situation arising out of it, we have to implement in the executive what judiciary has directed.

-- People should not take law in their own hands, don't cause damage to public property.

-- As per the order we've released water for six days. The order is hard to follow but well still follow the SC order.

-- (Kin of) whoever lost his or her life in police firing, will get Rs 10 lakh compensation.

-- I need the media's co-operation in bringing the situation to normal. Please join hands with the government. If you don't show volatility, it will help. Bengaluru isn't just capital of Karnataka but an international city -- Silicon Valley of India.

-- I have written to the prime minister to intervene in the matter, have asked for an appointment immediately. Most probably I will meet him tomorrow. I will request the PM to call TN CM Jayalalithaa as well.

-- It is true that violence is not a solution to any problem. We have to maintain peace and tranquillity in the society.

-- In sensitive areas where Ganesh Chaturthi, Onam and Bakrid are being celebrated, we have deployed security forces.
