Chennai: A fallout of Cauvery water dispute is visible on the streets of both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. While petrol bombs were hurled at an iconic Udupi restaurant - New Woodlands hotel - in Mylapore on Monday, some Tamil Nadu registration number vehicles were also attacked in Karnataka.
A written note was also found at the New Woodlands hotel which warned of more attacks if Tamilians are assaulted in Karnataka.
"Around 3.15 am, a group came to the hotel and damaged glass panels. It seems the group attacked the hotel in protest against Karnataka's attitude in release of Cauvery river water," a police official said.
A hotel employee confirmed the incident, adding that no person was injured in the attack.
Some pro-Tamil activists also targeted Karnataka registration buses in Ramanathapuram district in Tamil Nadu. According to reports, five vehicles were damaged during the attack.
Protesters in Karnataka have also organised a bike rally from KRS dam to border town Mandya.
On the other hand, lorries and a cab from Tamil Nadu were also attacked in Bapujinagar in Karnataka. Five Tamilian shops were also attacked in Mandya in Karnataka.
Meanwhile, the Cauvery Supervisory Committee headed by Union Water Resources Secretary Shashi Shekhar will also meet in Delhi on Monday. The committee will decide on the quantum of the river's water to be released to Tamil Nadu and other states.
