Hindutva organisations planned to take out a march and stage a dharna at the Deputy Commissioner's office in Madikeri on May 29 to protest against the attacks on Ganesh, secretary of the Kodagu Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) unit, C.N. Somesh told presspersons in Madikeri on Sunday. No one should ignore the feelings of the members of the Hindu communities, he said.

The procession would begin from the Sri Chowdeshwari temple in Mahadevpet in Madikeri after a puja at 10.30 a.m. on May 29. It would pass through the main streets and converge at the Deputy Commissioner's office to stage a dharna, Mr. Somesh said.
