Members of Desiya Thenninthiya Nathigal Inaippu Vivasayigal Sangam (National South Indian River Interlinking Agriculturist Association) staged a protest under the leadership of the state president of the association Ayyakannu in Trichy by performing the last rites of Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, condemning the state government for not releasing enough water from Cauvery. Meanwhile,  Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated on Monday that his administration will not halt the "Bengaluru bandh" announced by some farmers' organisations on Tuesday, as demonstrations against the supply of Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu became stronger.

Since the British colonial period, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have been at odds over the allotment of Cauvery River water. A settlement was achieved in 1924 between the princely state of Mysore and the presidency of Madras. Cauvery River Dispute: CWMA Files Report Before Supreme Court Says, ‘Karnataka Has Fulfilled Its Obligation Regarding Release of Water’.
