Karnataka expresses satisfaction over Cauvery regulation body rejecting TN's request for release of 12,000 cusecs
Bengaluru, Sep 26 (PTI) Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Tuesday expressed satisfaction over the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) rejecting Tamil Nadu's request for 12,000 cusecs and recommending that Karnataka release 3,000 cusecs of water to the neighbouring state till October 15.
The CWRC's recommendation came on the day of the Bengaluru bandh called by farmers and pro-Kannada organisations and backed by the BJP and JD(S), over the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
The call for the shutdown evoked a partial response, with most of the public services functioning normally, but far fewer people than usual venturing out.
