The district administration in Mandya has clamped prohibitory orders under section 144 with effect from 6 p.m. on Friday to 12 a.m. on Sunday in Srirangapatna.
The ban order has been clamped to ensure peace and maintain law order as various pro-Hindu groups have called for ‘’Srirangapatna Chalo’’ agitation on Saturday in a bid to lay siege to the Jamia Masjid which, they claim, has been built after demolishing a Hanuman temple. In view of the ban, processions, jatha, rally or protests will not be allowed in the Srirangapatna town limits, according to the authorities.
