Karnataka Bandh unlikely to disrupt normal life as most organisations extend only moral support

Karnataka Bandh unlikely to disrupt normal life as most organisations extend only moral support

Normal life is unlikely to be affected on Thursday (August 13) despite the bandh call given by Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj against the directive to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, as most organisations have extended only moral support to the call. The bandh, scheduled from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., is unlikely to affect public or private transport, shops and commercial establishments, hotels or eateries. Schools and offices are also expected to function as usual. Essential services such as healthcare, grocery stores, pharmacies and banks are expected to remain functional. Transport services are also likely to operate normally, as autorickshaw and cab unions have extended only moral support to the bandh. On Wednesday, Mr. Nagaraj said that the Kannada Okkoota had decided to go ahead with the bandh and that he would not call it off. He also said they would carry out a rally from Town Hall to Freedom Park at 11 a.m. “From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the bandh will be effective. Mandya will be entirely shut down, and complete support …

Zero tolerance for attempts to disrupt Kanwar Yatra: Adityanath

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday directed officials to adopt a zero-tolerance approach against anyone attempting to disrupt the ongoing Kanwar Yatra, saying the pilgrimage reflects faith, discipline and social harmony and any attempt to disturb communal harmony or spread rumours must be dealt with firmly.

How Ukraine is using drones to disrupt Russian supply lines and fuel convoys

How Ukraine is using drones to disrupt Russian supply lines and fuel convoys

Ukraine’s military has opened a new front in its war against Russia, not through a major ground offensive, but by systematically targeting the logistics network that keeps Russian troops supplied. A growing fleet of domestically produced mid-range drones is striking fuel convoys, military trucks, trains, bridges and supply depots deep behind the front lines, creating what Ukrainian officials describe as a “logistical lockdown” aimed at weakening Russia’s offensive capabilities, CNN reported. According to a CNN analysis of around 150 geolocated strikes against Russian fuel tankers, trucks and other vehicles, the campaign has intensified significantly since early May. The strikes, documented by open-source researchers and the platform’s OSINT team, are concentrated across southern Ukraine and occupied Crimea, though analysts believe many more attacks have gone unrecorded. pic.twitter.com/CARe4Da9v2 — Defense of Ukraine (@DefenceU) June 18, 2026 The effort reflects a shift in Ukrainian strategy.
