Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah stated he will consult legal teams on future action regarding the Cauvery water release row, amid a statewide strike called by farmer groups and pro-Kannada outfits. 44 flights were canceled at Bengaluru airport as protesters blocked roads and transport. Pro-Kannada activists disrupted actor Siddharth’s promotional event demanding his exit, citing inappropriate timing given the water dispute. Additional police were deployed as strike actions intensified over the Supreme Court's refusal to interfere with Cauvery regulating bodies' order to release water to Tamil Nadu. The tense situation has triggered large-scale disruption.
