Sandalwood actors Darshan, Sudeep express support for Cauvery River protests
Bengaluru: Amidst ongoing uproar over the silence of sandalwood actors over the Cauvery River issue, actors Darshan and Sudeep on Wednesday voiced their concerns in favour of the Kaveri protest.
Expressing concerns over sharing Cauvery water, actor Darshan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “There has been a continuous attempt to source more water from Karnataka's share of Cauvery water. The state is experiencing severe water shortage this time. There is a lot of possibility of damage to the irrigated area, so let's consider all the statistics and let justice be done as soon as possible.''
Meanwhile, actor Sudeep, taking to the micro-blogging site, expressed, “Dear friends, our Cauvery is our right. I believe the government that has won with such a consensus will not abandon the people who trust the Cauvery River. I urge experts to shape a strategy and deliver justice. In the battle for land, water, and language, my voice is also present. Let Mother Cauvery protect Karnataka."

Passenger deplaned from Air India flight amid 'Operation Sindoor' alert in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, May 7 (PTI): Amid heightened security across the country, a passenger was deboarded from an Air India flight at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) here on Wednesday evening, airport sources said.
The passenger was travelling on flight AI-2820 from Bengaluru to New Delhi.
Before the flight could take off at 6.05 pm, the passenger, whose identity has been withheld, was offloaded due to security-related concerns.
Confirming the incident, an Air India official told PTI, "We are aware of the incident but will not share any details."
"There must have been a reason for deboarding the passenger. It’s not something done routinely. There were specific concerns which we are not in a position to disclose," the official added.
Security has been tightened at KIA, as at airports across the country, in the wake of 'Operation Sindoor'—India's air strikes inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to "avenge" the killing of Indian tourists in Pahalgam last month.
