Normal life came to a standstill in Kushalnagar in Kodagu district this morning following the dawn-to-dusk bandh called by the ‘Cauvery Taluk Rachana Horata Samiti’ demanding taluk status for Kushalnagar. As of now, Kushalnagar comes under Somwarpet Taluk and it has been a long-pending demand of Kushalnagar residents for a separate Taluk.
The bandh was called to protest against the State Government for not announcing Kushalnagar Taluk while it announced creation of 49 new Taluks in the State in the Budget session.
