Protests are taking place in Karnataka against the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. The bandh call has led to the arrest of over 50 people, and the police have designated Freedom Park as the sanctioned location for protests in Bengaluru. The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation buses are operational, but fewer people are using them due to the bandh. The government has assured that the buses will continue to run.

As pro-Kannada and farmers' organisations have called for a 'Karnataka Bandh' on Friday to protest the release of Cauvery water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu, Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda on Thursday said that the Freedom Park is the sanctioned location for protests and rallies in the city.
