City police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar, who is also the additional district magistrate, has promulgated prohibitory orders under Section 144 or CrPC from 6 p.m. on February 24 to 6 a.m. on February 26 under the limits of Commissionerate.

The BJP and other saffron outfits, which staged a protest rally today in the city, had planned for a hartal across Dakshina Kannada district tomorrow to oppose Vijayan’s Mangaluru visit.

However, the police have denied permission for hartal. “No one is allowed hold hartal or stage protest in the city until the end of prohibitory orders,” the top cop said.

The police, however, clarified that the prohibitory orders will not apply to the Karavali Souharda Rally (Coastal Karnataka Harmony Rally) being organized in the city by the Left parties on Saturday.

District goes dry

Meanwhile, Dakshina Kannada district administration has banned the sale of liquor in the district on Friday and Saturday in view of controversies over the harmony rally.

Invoking Karnataka Excise Act, 1965, K G Jagadeesha, deputy commissioner of DK has declared two days as 'Dry Days'. It will be effective from Friday, 6am till Saturday midnight.

He said that the decision to bar sale of liquor was taken in view of the reports from police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar and superintendent of police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase. The two officers have asked for bar on sale of liquor in order to maintain law and order on these two days in the district.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The Karnataka high court on Tuesday directed the government to submit steps taken in respect of the order of Lokyukta in relation to the Kethaganahalli landgrab case involving former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, his relatives and former minister DC Thammanna.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka gave the direction on a PIL filed by Samaj Parivartan Samudaya (SPS), an NGO. The petitioner said despite an order from the Lokayukta on August 5, 2014, to take action within 15 days, no action has been initiated till date in respect of encroachment of a huge tract of land in Kethaganahalli along Bengaluru-Mysuru highway.

SPS says the land was purchased in 1979 contrary to norms of Karnataka Land Revenue Act. It claims Kumaraswamy and others paid only Rs 5,000 per acre, although the prevailing market rate was Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per acre.
