Govt to opposition: Give solution to dam problem, don’t politicise it

Despite efforts, authorities struggled to halt water outflow at Tungabhadra dam after the 19th crest gate was damaged. Expert Kannayya Naidu suggested a temporary stop lock gate. District administration imposed restrictions to ensure safety. Political leaders debated the handling of the issue, and farmers demanded compensation for crop damage. CM Siddaramaiah planned to visit the dam.
