The week-long prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC that commence from last night will be in force till the midnight of June 27.

In fact the Section 144 has been clamped in four taluks of Dakshina Kannada district since June 13. Following the murder of SDPI activist in Bantwal taluk on Wednesday, the district administration extended the ban orders from June 21 to June 27 in Bantwal, Belthangady, Sullia and Puttur taluks.

However, following consultation with senior police officers Deputy Commissioner K G Jagadeesha decided to impose same ban orders under the limits of Mangaluru city police commissionerate too.

During the ban period, forming of crowds, carrying of weapons, raising slogans and organizing processions will be considered as criminal offences.

Inspector General of Police Harishekaran said that additional police force has been deployed to maintain peace in Dakshina Kannada. He warned that the police will book those carrying sharp weapons. While seeking cooperation from the people in maintaining peace in the region, he said that representatives from two communities should meet him.

However, the district administration may relax the prohibitory orders for Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in the district. The coastal belt of Karnataka may celebrate Eid on May 25 or 26.
