Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said the state will once again file a petition before the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) expressing its inability to release Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu.

A tragic accident occurred on Wednesday morning at the Nandikur-Mudarangadi Junction along the Karkala-Padubidri State Highway, resulting in the loss of a 32-year-old motorcycle rider's life.

Former Karnataka Chief Ministers -- B S Yediyurappa and Basavaraj Bommai of the BJP and H D Kumaraswamy of the JD(S) -- will not be attending the "special emergency meeting" called by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday to discuss the issue of releasing Cauvery river water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

A series of accidents involving a car, a tipper, and a motorcycle unfolded on Tuesday night near Hiregouja in Chikkamagaluru taluk, resulting in the loss of a couple's lives and serious injuries to a child and the car's driver.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has called for a "special emergency meeting" on September 13, following the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) on Tuesday recommending that Karnataka release 5,000 cusecs of water every day for the next 15 days to Tamil Nadu.

The All India Congress Committee's (AICC) disciplinary committee has taken action against Legislative Council member BK Hariprasad, issuing him a show-cause notice. This move comes in response to Hariprasad's indirect criticisms of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, which are believed to have caused embarrassment to both the government and the party.

Kaginele Kanaka Guru Peetha Eshwaranandapuri Swami has expressed his disapproval of the recent statement made by MLC BK Hariprasad. Hariprasad's remarks, which indirectly criticized Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, were criticized by the Swami during a religious gathering in Nagenahalli, Chitradurga.

Former MP VS Ugrappa, during a press conference held at the KPCC office on Queen's Road in the city, criticized former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy for his political choices, stating that Kumaraswamy had compromised the principles of the Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) by forming an alliance with the BJP, a party Ugrappa referred to as "communal."
