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.

Bengaluru, Mar 3: Bengaluru mayor Gautam Kumar on Tuesday said that the decision to ban protests in front of Town Hall was made by the council and not only by him.

"The decision to ban the protest in front of the Town Hall was made by the entire council and not only my decision. Also, the things which are approved by the councillor are also read by the ruling party leaders," Bengaluru mayor told media.

"Still it is the discretion of the Commissioner to take a call after the council also. As of now, we have banned any protests in front of Town Hall," he added.

Meanwhile, Congress leaders staged a protest against Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Mayor Gautam Kumar and BJP at Council BBMP building against the decision.

"If people will start protesting, it will badly affect the traffic of the city," said Kumar, while commenting on the protest. If they want to talk about the matter, let us have a healthy discussion. I don't have a problem with and I don't think the ruling party has a problem too," he added.
