Security tightened along border

The Karnataka police have tightened security along the State border to ensure that there are no untoward incidents in the wake of the ongoing protests and the bandh call on Thursday in Tamil Nadu over the Cauvery dispute.

With transport services having taken a hit already, the police are ensuring that the issue does not take a violent turn at the border.

“We have already strengthened security along the border. All districts sharing a border with Tamil Nadu will have full deployment of police forces which will be reinforced with the KSRP platoons,” a senior official added.
