Mangalore, May 22: Normal life in Mangalore was thrown out of gear on Tuesday with police diverting the traffic across the city to facilitate the march of Hindutva activists towards Nehru Maidan, where a state level 'Yuva Jagruti Samavesha' is being organized by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Thousands of commuters stranded for hours across the city due to the traffic disruption. Elderly men and women stuck in confusion when the city and private buses in which they arrived here from different parts took strange routs.

The traffic diversions began ahead of a grand procession which started at around 2:00 pm from Jyothi Circle. Chief Minister D V Sadanada Gowda, Home and Transport Minister R Ashok, State BJP chief K S Eshwarappa, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, Deputy Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat, Mangalore MP Nalink Kumar Kateel were among those who participated in the rally.

Though the procession formally flagged off at Jyothi Circle, saffron activists came in small processions from various parts of the city adding to the traffic woes. Parking was also prohibited in many places for few hours.

KSRTC buses misused

Hundreds of vehicles were arranged by the ruling BJP to bring people to the convention ground from different parts of district and State. Dozens of KSRTC buses were also seen trafficking people to the Nehru Maidan from other districts.
