Pro-Kannada and farmers' organizations have called for a statewide bandh (shutdown) in Karnataka on September 29 to protest the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. The bandh is expected to impact normal life in the state, with schools and colleges in Bengaluru remaining closed. Organizers plan to shut down highways, toll gates, rail services, and airports. Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which prohibits assembly of four or more people, will be in place in Bengaluru. The opposition BJP and Janata Dal (S) have extended their support to the bandh.
