After violent protests against release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, Bengaluru is limping back to normalcy.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah held a meeting on law and order situation on Wednesday.

The government has decided to deploy additional central forces in the city and continue prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure till further orders.

Siddaramaiah has sought appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek his intervention to bail out the state from the present crisis as the storage position in reservoirs is poor.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Road Transport buses have started operating to all places except Tamil Nadu.

Metro rail has also resumed its service in the city since Tuesday night.
