Curated summary

Kannada activists blocked the Attibele inter-state border, choking traffic in both directions and signaling a larger statewide bandh on August 13. The protest is tied to long-running water project demands, and activists also threatened to disrupt airport access if Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin visits without support for the projects. The move points to rising Karnataka-Tamil Nadu tension.
