Bantwal taluk remained on tenterhooks for the second day running as thousands of activists of Sangh Parivar are taking part in the funeral of Sharath Madivala, a 28-year-old RSS activist, who breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru last evening three days after he was stabbed by unidentified miscreants in B C Road.

However, no untoward incident reported in Mangaluru or Bantwal so far today. Earlier in the day hundreds of mourners had gathered in front of AJ Hspital from where the mortal remains of Sharath were taken in a procession to Bntwal.

The administration has extended prohibitory orders across Dakshina Kannada. Security has been tightened across the district. All shops have been closed in Farangipet and BC Road as part of precautionary measures.

CM Siddaramaiah, who was in Mangaluru yesterday, has warned of stringent action against people who disrupt communal harmony. "Some anti-social elements are bent on trying to disturb peace. We will see that no such organisation takes the law into their hands. I have asked the police to tackle the situation with an iron hand," he said.

Mangaluru, Feb 13: After pro-Kannada outfits called for a state-wide bandh today, the police are on high-alert to avoid any untoward incidents.

The dawn to dusk bandh was called demanding implementation of Sarojini Mahishi report which recommended certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in private & public sector companies.

There is no official holiday declared for schools and colleges. Besides, all government institutions and private establishments are open.

But, in some parts of Karnataka, autorickshaws and taxis, including Ola and Uber stayed off the roads.

Even though the bandh is unlikely to hit normal life in coastal Karnataka, stones were pelted on a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet.
