Numerous organizations protested the supply of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu by calling for a bandh in Bengaluru. The call for today's Bengaluru bandh came from the Karnataka Jala Samrakshana Samiti, an umbrella group of farmers' associations and other organizations led by farmer leader Kuruburu Shanthakumar. The BJP and AAP, two opposition parties, have backed the bandh today. In order to prevent any untoward incidents, the Bengaluru police are on high alert and adopting all necessary security measures. Given that both the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation and the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation Staff and Workers Federation have pledged their support for the "Bengaluru Bandh'' demand, transport services are likely to be disrupted today. The city has implemented Section 144. The Karnataka High Court or Supreme Court orders, according to the Bengaluru police, prohibit bandhs, rallies, and processions. Today in Bengaluru, all colleges and institutions were closed. A new bandh on September 29 was declared on Monday under the leadership of Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj and the banner of Kannada Okkuta.
