ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಬಂದ್​​​​​​​​ಗೆ ಬೆಂಬಲವಿಲ್ಲ: ಪ್ರವೀಣ್ ಶೆಟ್ಟಿ, ಸಾರಾ ಗೋವಿಂದ್ ಘೋಷಣೆ

According to reports from TV9 Kannada, a proposed Karnataka bandh scheduled for August 13 regarding the ongoing Cauvery River water dispute is facing internal division among local advocacy groups. While some Kannada-pro-organizations have expressed support for the strike, prominent leaders including Praveen Shetty and Sa Ra Govindu have publicly announced that their respective factions will not participate in the shutdown.

These leaders emphasized that while they remain committed to the cause of securing Cauvery water for the state and will continue their advocacy efforts, they do not support the specific call for a bandh on Thursday. The disagreement highlights the complex landscape of regional activism surrounding the water-sharing issue, which remains a sensitive and recurring topic in Karnataka politics.

As of now, the situation remains fluid with varying stances among different organizations. The state government and local authorities have not yet issued a formal response to the potential disruption, and residents are advised to monitor local updates as the date approaches for further clarity on the impact of the call to action.
