The Cauvery water dispute continued to raise tensions in both Tamil Nadu
and Karnataka, with sporadic incidents of attacks on a hotel, pelting
of stones, ruckus at a bank and attacks on vehicles reported in both the
States. Section 144 was imposed across Bengaluru as violence
intensified.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Monday Sep 12,2016 slammed the Karnataka government
for citing public unrest and turmoil as reasons for seeking a
modification of its September 5 order to release 15,000 cusecs from its
reservoirs to Tamil Nadu. It, however, modified its order, by directing
Karnataka to release 12,000 cusecs a day till September 20.
