A shutdown is planned in Karnataka on September 29 as a protest against the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu intensifies. Led by "Kannada Okkuta" leader Vattal Nagaraj, the bandh is expected to impact various services and activities across the state. Essential services such as hospitals, pharmacies, and government offices will remain open, but malls, shops, schools, and colleges are likely to be closed. Cab aggregators Ola and Uber have shown support for the shutdown and will not provide services on that day.
Meanwhile, it is estimated that normal life, especially in the southern part of the state, is likely to be affected as pro-Kannada and farmers’ organisations have called for a ‘Karnataka Bandh’ to protest the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
