Karnataka bandh today: KSRTC services in Kolar and Chikkaballapur affected; public transport functioning normally in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: The state-wide bandh called by pro-Kannada organisations on Monday (June 12, 2017) to press for their charter of demands is not having any major impact on Bengaluru.

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation buses are running as scheduled in the city on Monday, so there will no major impact on transport services. Namma metro is running. Auto drivers union and taxi operators union had already said they will not be joining the bandh.

Their charter of demands among others include farm loan waiver, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention in the Mahadayi river water dispute, a permanent solution to the problem of water scarcity in arid areas, and exile of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) activists from the state for their alleged 'anti Kannada' activities in Belagavi.

Vatal Nagaraj, who heads Kannada Okoota, said in a statement that the bandh is also against Tamil Nadu's opposition to the Mekedatu project across the river Cauvery and proposal to privatise BEML.

Kannada Okoota, which claimed support from several like- minded organisations, said Nagraj would meet office bearers of Karnataka Employers' Association today to seek their support for the bandh.

The Karnataka government has locked horns with the neighbouring Goa on the larger issue of sharing the Mahadayi River water between both the states.
