Chennai

There was a heavy rush at the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT) at Koyambedu on Sunday as passengers gathered in large numbers to board the buses to Bengaluru. Tamil Nadu State Express Transport Corporation (TNSETC) sources said bus services to Karnataka were back to normal. For the last five days, bus services to Karnataka were hit in view of the unrest over Cauvery and the buses were operated only up to Hosur on Tamil Nadu border. 

However, Karnataka State Transport Corporation Buses to several parts of Karnataka from Tamil Nadu were operated normally during these days, except for September 9, when the buses were parked at CMBT in view of the oneday bandh called by various pro-Kannada outfits to protest against the release of Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu. 

Meanwhile, the Cauvery Supervisory Committee will meet in New Delhi on Monday to decide on the quantum of the water to be released to Tamil Nadu and other states.  The committee is headed by Union Water Resources Secretary Shashi Shekhar. The Chief Secretaries of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry, besides officials of the Central Water Commission, were expected to attend the meeting, reports said.
