Karnataka bandh: Poor response in Mysuru, Malnad districts; Mandya witnesses forced shop closures

The bandh call met with minimal success in Mysuru and malnad regions today, contrasting with the vigorous response in Mandya where protestors effectively closed numerous shops. Throughout Mysuru, schools, colleges, and transportation services continued their operations unimpeded. Advocates staged a boycott of court proceedings to challenge the CWRC water release order, while farmer groups facilitated marches and protests in both Mysuru and Mandya.
