Section 144 enforced citywide – gatherings of more than 5 people not permitted. Dial 112 for any help. Additional police will be deployed for maintaining law and order.”

On Monday, Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) MP HD Deve Gowda sent a letter to PM Modi and requested him to set up a team to study water and crop situation in Karnataka amid the ongoing water dispute.

He said, “I have made an appeal to the PM on the prevailing situation.

I requested the same to the Vice President of the country. ”
