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, Apr 28: Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday suggested that the government can allow sale of liquor in green zones. 

“Merely because there is an economic slowdown in the state, I don’t recommend that alcohol should be allowed to be sold. But, wherever there are green districts, they can open (liquor sale) with certain restrictions, I think,” Siddaramaiah, the leader of the Opposition, told reporters. 

There are 14 districts in the state that are categorised as green because they do not have any active COVID-19 cases. The green districts are: Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Haveri, Davangere, Shivamogga, Chitradurga, Udupi, Chikmagalur, Hassan, Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, Ramanagara and Kolar.

There is tremendous pressure on the B S Yediyurappa administration to revive the economy as the lockdown has dried up all revenue sources. Excise, alone, accounts for 18 per cent of Karnataka’s own tax revenue. 

The Excise department recently suggested allowing regulated sale of liquor through the state-run MSIL outlets. The government, however, did not approve it fearing crowding and backlash from the Centre.
