Bandh in Karnataka over Cauvery row, DKS asks Vijay to nix Bengaluru visit; TN decides to move SC

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's visit to Bengaluru is likely deferred due to escalating Cauvery water dispute tensions. Karnataka's Chief Minister urged reconsideration of the trip, citing the current atmosphere. Widespread protests are opposing the directive to release water to Tamil Nadu. Karnataka will decide its next steps after an all-party meeting and legal consultations. The state may release some water while contesting the Supreme Court case.
