The Morning Wrap: Karnataka Defers Release Of Cauvery Water; Decomposed Foetus Found By Dog In Ghaziabad

A day after British forensic agency Jason Payne-James said in its findings that Jiah Khan's suicide was staged, prime accused in the case, actor Sooraj Pancholi, who was dating the actress at the time leading to her death, has said that he, too, deserves a fair trial so that he can move on with his life. The actor, who was launched by Salman Khan last year in Nikhil Advani's Hero, also accused the media for 'targeting' him and stalling the progress of his Bollywood career.

A woman in Chhattisgarh, whose eight-month-old foetus had died, reportedly became a victim of doctors' apathy after several hospitals refused to operate on her without advance payment of fees. She died on Monday night after infection spread in her body.

The portrayal of women chased and harassed by spurned lovers in south Indian films has made stalking a "cool, romantic thing to do" activists are insisting, urging the film industry to stop glorifying a crime that has resulted in violent deaths. In the last few months, Tamil Nadu has reported half a dozen cases of women being murdered in their homes, classrooms and in public spaces for rejecting men who have stalked them.

Cauvery Row: Anger In Bengaluru, Vehicles Told Not To Go To Tamil Nadu

BENGALURU:  In the Cauvery water dispute, massive protests erupted in Karnataka on Monday, especially on the streets of Bengaluru and Mysuru, as a modified Supreme Court order meant the state has to release more water to neighbour Tamil Nadu.
Here are 10 developments in the story:
1-On Karnataka's petition, the court modified an earlier order and said the state has to release less river water to Tamil Nadu but for five more days. Karnataka, which will end up giving more water after the modified order, urged the court to reconsider but its request was rejected.
2-In Bengaluru and Mysuru, shops and vehicles of Tamil Nadu were attacked and set on fire.
3-Karnataka has stopped bus services to Tamil Nadu and police jeeps were positioned along the border to warn vehicles against entering that state.
4-Schools and colleges were closed early in Bengaluru and metro services have been stopped as a precaution.
5-In Chennai, a hotel owned by a Karnataka company was vandalized by a fringe group. The attackers broke into the New Woodlands hotel early this morning, broke glasses and window panes. 6-They allegedly also threw a petrol bomb and left pamphlets warning of retaliation if Tamils were targeted in Karnataka.
7-Four members of the group have been arrested. At least 10 people were involved in the attack, the police say.
8-Five tourist vehicles from Karnataka, including two buses, were vandalized in Rameswaram in southern Tamil Nadu.
9-Over the weekend, a young man - reported to be Tamil - was attacked and humiliated in Bengaluru by a group allegedly over his comments on social media on the Cauvery dispute. In a video of the attack that went viral, the engineering student was slapped and kicked by the men. The police suspect he was attacked after his post on Facebook mocking Kannada actors was widely circulated.
The protests began after Karnataka was asked last week by the Supreme Court to release 15,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu daily from the river Cauvery, which flows through both states.
10-On Monday the Supreme Court, responding to Karnataka's petition that it would not be able to release that much water, modified its order.

Cauvery water dispute in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka: Like Rajinikanth, actors too feel the heat

On Friday, as Karnataka logs out for a state-wide bandh over the Cauvery issue, the 52 Tamil satellite channels will be off air in Kannadiga land. Like it was in 2008, when cable TV operators pulled the plug on Tamil entertainment networks for days at end.

Tamil movies have already been removed from theatres in cities like Bengaluru and on Thursday, Tamil actor Vikram's Iru Mugan did not release across the Cauvery. Films have always suffered collateral damage whenever Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have gone to war over Cauvery.

Cauvery agitation: Siddaramaiah calls for all-party meeting today

Duterte won the presidency in May as he promised to suppress crime and wipe out drugs and drug dealers, and a wave of extrajudicial killings has followed.

Duterte said it would be "rude" for Obama to raise the human rights issue, and told reporters such a conversation would prompt him to curse at Obama, using a Filipino phrase for "son of a b@#$%."
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has convened an all-party meeting  in the state on Tuesday evening to decide the government’s course of action in the wake of the Supreme Court directing Karnataka to release 15,000 cusecs of water over the next 10 days from Cauvery to Tamil Nadu.

The Supreme Court’s orders came in the wake of a plea by Tamil Nadu government against Karnataka’s alleged violation of orders of the Cauvery River Water Disputes Tribunal for release of water for agriculture in the Cauvery basin in Tamil Nadu.

Karnataka has been arguing that it does not have sufficient water in its reservoirs in the Cauvery basin to service the agricultural requirements of both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu on account of insufficient rainfall during the monsoon.


The state has claimed it has only 51 TMC of water in its reservoirs in the Cauvery basin which can service only the drinking water needs of south Karnataka.

Siddaramaiah is holding consultations with legal experts and opposition parties on Tuesday even as a bandh has been organised by farmers and pro-Karnataka organisations in the Mandya region of the state where the agricultural and drinking water requirements are met by the Cauvery river.

“We are yet to receive a copy of the Supreme Court order. Once we examine it we will consult all parties and take a decision,” Siddaramaiah said on Monday.

The head of the Cauvery water agitation group in Karnataka the veteran G Madegowda has threatened serious consequences if the Congress government releases water at the cost of farmers in the Mandya region. Madegowda has demanded the removal of the head of Karnataka’s legal panel in the Supreme Court, Fali S Nariman, for failing to effectively present the case of the state.

With the emotive Cauvery issue resulting in violence and farmer suicides in the past, the state government has deployed additional police forces in the Mandya region – especially on the Bengaluru-Mysore highway and at the Krishna Raja Sagar reservoir near Mysore.

The Mandya district collector has banned tourist activity at the Brindavan Gardens next to the KRS reservoir for four days till September 9 on account of the Cauvery agitation.

The state transport corporation cancelled bus services going via Mandya on the Bengaluru-Mysore route on Tuesday.
