Follow live updates on the ongoing Cauvery row.
Protests escalated on Monday in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu after Supreme Court's judgement asking Karnataka to release 12,000 cusecs of Cauvery water pre day to Tamil Nadu till Septemebr 20. Earlier, the apex court had ordered Karnataka to release 15,000 cusecs a day to ameliorate the plight of farmers of the neighbouring state.
Sporadic violence broke out in Bangalore and in some other parts of Karnataka even as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah wrote to his Tamil Nadu counterpart Jayalalithaa to ensure adequate safety and protection for Kannada-speaking people in the state.
Protests by fringe Tamil outfits erupted in parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry with some commercial and government establishments of Karnataka being targeted. At least six lorries with Tamil Nadu registration were set on fire or stoned and a Chennai-based mobile shop and two hotels were attacked in Bengaluru, police said, as activists of different pro-Kannada outfits took to the streets.
Bengaluru police said prohibitory orders had not been imposed in any part of the city and asked people not to pay heed to rumours. Elaborate security arrangements are in place in the city with 15,000 policemen being deployed.

Karnataka government asks TN to ensure safety of Kannadigas
Voicing concern over attacks on state vehicles and a hotel run by a native of Karnataka in Tamil Nadu amid the ongoing Cauvery row, the state government has asked its counterpart to take steps for the safety of Kannadigas living there and to protect their property.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said he would write to his Tamil Nadu counterpart Jayalalithaa to help cooperate in maintaining cordiality between the states, which are now locked in a bitter row over release of Cauvery water.
Siddaramaiah said he would also speak to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, if necessary, on the incidents targetting Kannadigas.
