Karnataka Bandh Today: Kannada activists are blocking the Attibele inter-state border today, impacting traffic in both directions. This action serves as a preview for a larger statewide shutdown planned for August thirteenth. The August thirteenth bandh is organized over several long-standing Karnataka water project grievances. Activists also threatened to disrupt the airport if Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister visits without project support. This demonstration highlights ongoing inter-state tensions and planned future actions.
