KV Lakshmana, Hindustan Times, Chennai | Updated: Sep 12, 2016 14:41 IST

The Cauvery river water sharing dispute turned violent on Monday in Tamil Nadu with a group of armed protesters throwing a petrol bomb at a hotel owned by a person from Karnataka in Chennai’s Mylapore area.
Police said the New Woodlands Hotel was attacked at around 3:15 am by a group of protesters who barged inside and smashed window panes. The group was armed with wooden sticks and iron rods.
The attackers left a note in Tamil, which said: “If Tamilians living in Karnataka continue to be assaulted, their (Kannadigas) businesses here will continue to suffer. There are Kannadigas living here as well. Be warned.”
No one was injured in the attack, a police official said.
Investigations are on and police are looking at CCTV footage. No arrests have been made so far, the official said.

Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, a group of protests in Rameshwaram smashed windscreens and window of buses and cars bearing Karnataka number plates.

The protests by Tamil groups are in response to the dissent by farmers and pro-Kannada outfits in several parts of Karnatak on the Cauvery issue and the Supreme Court directive ordering Karantaka to release 15000 cusecs for 10 days.
In Chennai, Tamilaga Valvurimai Katchi founder T Velmurugan said his party workers will stage “democratic protests” outside Kannada establishments including their government offices in the state.

The Tamil Nadu government has suspended the services of state owned transport buses due to the agitation in Karnataka. On Monday buses from Tamil Nadu were stopped at Hosur, close to Bengaluru.
There have been incidents of violence across the border in Karnataka, as well.
A group of men hurled stones at a truck bearing a Tamil Nadu registration plate in the district of Charmarajanagar, according to police.

If this kind of nonsense continues then we should consider division of states along the rivers viz. North Cauvery, South Cauvery instead of Up Cauvery (Karnataka) and Down Cauvery (TN).

Maharashtra should take the opportunity of Karnataka's troubles to conquer what it wants----Belgaum , what kannadigas call Kashmir of the south because of its disputed nature.

Just trolling.

Indian gov is keeping this fight between brothers alive by not gazetting the Cauvery Tribunal Award. That would once and for ever settle the matter instead of going tyo supreme court every year and protests and counter protests.

That Woodland hotel must have all employees from the uncontrolled migration of Hindians to Karnataka and TN

Rashmun,

Why did you hush up attacks on Tamils in Karnataka?

The Cauvery water dispute continued to raise tensions in both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with sporadic incidents of attacks on a hotel, pelting of stones, ruckus at a bank and attacks on vehicles reported in both the States. Section 144 was imposed across Bengaluru as violence intensified.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Monday slammed the Karnataka government for citing public unrest and turmoil as reasons for seeking a modification of its September 5 order to release 15,000 cusecs from its reservoirs to Tamil Nadu.

Dverytime SC orders Karnataka to share water, Kannadiga hooligans (most are not hooligans) go on attacking Tamils.

I want an orderly transfer of population between the 2 states. All Tamils who want to return repatriated to TN and vice versa, A international commission should asses properties left behind and ask state govs to compensate. This is the only solution.
