#cauveryissue: how twitter condemned the violence in bengaluru

In police firing on Monday night, one civilian was killed and another injured in Bengaluru. As the Cauvery water sharing row raged, violence flared up in the city with rampaging mobs setting

fire to at least 30 buses and trucks with Tamil Nadu registration number plate and bringing the country's IT capital on the edge. 1 civilian was killed and one injured in police firing

in Bengaluru, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah;'s residence was pelted stones at by the protestors on Monday. Shortly after the modified Supreme Court order on release of Cauvery water to

Tamil Nadu and amid reports of alleged attacks on Kannadigas in the neighbouring state, violence broke out sending a wave of panic across the city, which was brought under prohibitory orders

till normalcy is restored. Incidents of arson came even as police said they have made elaborate security arrangements with 15,000 policemen being deployed, bolstered by Karnataka State

Reserve Police, City Armed Reserve Police, Rapid Action Force, Quick Reaction Teams, special forces, Central Industrial Security Force and Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force. People took to

Twitter to dispel rumours and repeatedly stressed that only hooligans are resorting to violence. Many also tweeted praising the Bengaluru police for the way they handled the situation.  

Here are some of the tweets appealing for maintenance of peace in Bengaluru. > Few parts of Bengaluru are witnessing bus/lorry burning. Most parts > are peaceful with even shops open.
