Pro-Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj on Sunday said that the Pro-Kannada organization will block the National Highway near Hoskote toll in Bengaluru over the Cauvery water issue.

Calls for protests over a longstanding river water sharing dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have forced global firms including Walmart and Google to ask employees in Bengaluru to work from home on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to pass any order on the Tamil Nadu government's plea seeking release of 24,000 cusecs of Cauvery water daily by Karnataka for irrigating the standing crops.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to take a firm stand, based on facts, that the state cannot release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
