Violence eases as curfew imposed in BangaloreNEW DELHI -- Incidents of looting and vandalism eased Tuesday in parts of India's information technology hub of Bangalore after authorities imposed a curfew amid widespread protests overnight over India's top court ordering the southern state of Karnataka to release water from a disputed river to a neighboring state. Authorities then imposed the curfew in the troubled parts of Bangalore, bringing the situation under control, he said. Television images showed dozens of buses, with license plates from neighboring Tamil Nadu state, burning in a private transport company depot in Bangalore. Offices and shops were closed as groups of young men wandered the streets attacking property owned by people from Tamil Nadu. In the city of Mandya, 100 kilometers southeast of Bangalore, protesters set fire to trucks and buses bearing Tamil Nadu license plates.
