On the first day of the Karnataka bandh called by Kannada Okkuta over Cauvery water release to Tamil Nadu, 44 flights were canceled within 6 hours at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. 5 pro-Kannada activists were detained when they tried to enter the airport with a Karnataka flag and caused a ruckus. Under Section 144, prohibitory orders were imposed in several districts with schools and colleges shut. Most shops and businesses downed shutters across Karnataka as private vehicles stayed off roads in Cauvery basin areas. Multiplexes and theatres also canceled shows backing the 12-hour state-wide bandh.
