According to sources Karnataka's statewide bandh is likely to disrupt daily life as several Kannada and farmer outfits protest against the “Centre’s apathy” towards the Mahadayi dispute. Meanwhile the private schools and state government offices are expected to remain closed during the bandh. Moreover various IT offices in Bengaluru have also asked their employees to work from home or to take the day off.



However, transport services such as buses and cars are likely to stay on road. Meanwhile several app based taxi services have also clarified that they would function normally. Accordingly the bandh has garnered support from Karnataka State Government Employees’ Association an organization which claims to represent more than 6 lakh workers from across the state and Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover the outfits have declared the strike in order to put pressure on the state and central governments to resolve the Mahadayi water sharing dispute and further they are protesting against the non-implementation of the Kalasa-Banduri dam project, which will divert water from the Mahadayi River to districts in North Karnataka.
