Karnataka bandh today: Are banks open or closed in Bengaluru on Thursday, August 13?
Essential services will remain open during the statewide bandh in Karnataka on Thursday.
Banks and other essential services will remain operational during the statewide bandh in Karnataka on Thursday, scheduled from 6 am to 6 pm.
The statewide bandh call comes after the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) directed Karnataka to release 12,000 cusecs of water every day to Tamil Nadu for 15 days starting 12 August.
Vatal Nagaraj, convener of the Kannada Chalavali Vatal Paksha, said the protest would go ahead despite the water-sharing order. "We will observe bandh at any cost. I appeal to everyone to support our call for strike," he told PTI.
Bengaluru is expected to remain largely unaffected on Thursday, 13 August, despite a Karnataka bandh called by Kannada organisations amid the escalating Cauvery water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
