Mangaluru, Sep 8: In the wake of bandh call given by various pro-Kannada organisations in the state, schools and colleges remain closed in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts on Friday, September 9.
The administrations in both the districts have made separate announcements in this regard. Communications from deputy commissioner Dr Jagadish from Mangaluru and his counterpart Venkatesh from Udupi say that schools and colleges will remain closed in the twin districts.
Other organisations especially bus owners or labour unions have not said anything about their stance for tomorrow. But pro-Kannada organisations are supporting the bandh. During the last bandh, while the buses and other vehicles remained off the roads, officially schools remained open with least attendance.
The Friday bandh is observed throughout the state opposing the Supreme Court verdict which ordered 15000 cusecs of Cauvery water to be released to Tamil Nadu.
