Pro-Kannada groups in Bengaluru have challenged the government by calling for a state-wide bandh on Friday. They dare the authorities to crack down on their activists during what they say will be a massive protest across Karnataka over the sharing of Cauvery water with Tamil Nadu. As many as 2,000 organisations are expected to participate in the protest, with support coming from various sectors including the film industry, manufacturing industry, and transport. The Bangalore University has postponed its annual convocation due to the bandh.https://ift.tt/smx2FNV
