economictimes.indiatimes.com:

An official of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation told news agency ANI that buses are operational but «people are not coming» due to the bandh call. The state transport minister Ramalinga Reddy said that the government will ensure the service of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation buses on Friday.

«Those who are doing bandh should do it peacefully. the transport buses will ply despite the bandh tomorrow and there is no need for passengers to worry,» the minister said.

Similarly, less number of passengers were seen in Bengaluru metro trains because of the Bandh called by various organizations regarding the Cauvery water issue.

Meanwhile, in view of the bandh, the district administrations in Bengaluru and Mandya announced a holiday for educational institutions today in their respective jurisdiction.
In Mandya, prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) have been imposed as well.

Karnataka has been witnessing protests over the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu after the Supreme Court refused to intervene in the decisions of the Cauvery Water Management Authority(CWMA) and its assisting body Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) that directed the state to do so.

In the latest decision, the CWRC had ordered Karnataka to ensure the release of 3,000 cusecs of Cauvery water at Biligundlu starting from September 28 till October 15, 2023. In the earlier spell, it was 5,000 cusecs.
