The ban has hit mango farmers in the Srinivasapura region of Kolar district, a major mango-growing area bordering Andhra Pradesh, particularly hard. These farmers, heavily reliant on Chittoor's processing and pulp extraction units, staged protests and a "bandh" (strike) on Wednesday, demanding a support price for mangoes and an end to the imposed restrictions.

The Congress leadership reportedly instructed the state government to undertake the new survey to address the lingering anxieties and discrepancies associated with the original 2015-2016 caste survey. "The high command indicated receiving complaints that the original survey, conducted almost ten years ago, might have left out certain groups. Therefore, a swift re-enumeration will be undertaken within approximately 60-70 days," Siddaramaiah clarified to reporters in Chikkaballapura.

He emphasized that the government had apologized and shared in the public's pain, acknowledging the tragedy and the suffering of the families who lost loved ones.

The Kadugodi police have confirmed the incident and are investigating the matter as a targeted killing fueled by a long-standing feud. A friend of Puneeth was also seriously injured in the attack and is currently receiving treatment at a local hospital.
