With the “extreme unrest†in Karnataka over release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to call forthwith “on a few hours notice†a meeting of chief ministers of the two states to end the impasse. As the Cauvery row hotted up with the state observing a 12-hour bandh today, Siddaramaiah dashed off a missive to Modi saying that the “unrestâ€, if continued, would have a serious impact on the state’s economy as also the IT economy which brings enormous revenue and foreign exchange to the country.
