Water Release  

After stopping service to Belagavi route due to floods, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), has now halted services from Bengaluru to Chamarajanagar, Mysuru, Nanjangud and HD Kote as excess water has been released from Kabini dam

Five Karnataka districts — Belagavi, Bagalkot, Raichur, Vijayapura and Yadgir have been badly affected by the swollen rivers Krishna, Malaprabha, Markandeya and a few other rivulets
 

Cauvery Water Management Authority released an order stating that Karnataka has to release water to Tamil Nadu only if there is an increase in the inflow of water. But the farmers in Karnataka are concerned about the water that is necessary to sustain the standing crops in the state.

The decision to deferr the release of water was taken considering the reduced inflows and the weather forecast of subdued rain activity in the catchment area. It has provided relief to the residents of low-lying areas of the state and neighbouring Punjab
