A Bengaluru bandh was called on September 26 due to the issue of Cauvery water release. On the same day, the Cauvery water management committee convened a meeting and declared that Karnataka must release 3,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu daily. This decision has sparked anger among Kannada activists, farmer unions, and various organizations, leading to the Karnataka bandh being called.
