The garden city Bangalore is in deep trouble and tension because of the Cauvery river issue between Kannadigas and Tamilians and the city has been in high alert since yesterday.
The Kannadigas are targeting Tamilians and Kollywood celebrities in particular. At the same time, some violence has been reported in Tamil Nadu as well on Kannada based hotels and places. Actors like Rajnikanth, Prabhu Deva, Bobby Simha and Ramesh Arvind are given special protection from the police to avoid troubles and more violent situations.
The main reason for offering them protection is because they have link to both Tamil and Kannada film industries respectively. The current scenario in Bangalore is quite tense and Section 144 is all over the city as of now. We will have to wait and see how the Karnataka government handles this tense situation.
