Mild tension prevailed at Madanapalle and surrounding areas on Monday as the bandh called by various parties in support of their demand to carve out Madanapalle district with Madanapalle town as its headquarters was foiled by the police.
Deputy Superintendent of Police(DSP) A. Ravi Manohar Achary said that police parties had been deployed at all arterial junctions in Madanapalle and surrounding areas from the early hours to prevent any inconvenience to the public.
“No bandh was organised anywhere in the town. All educational and commercial establishments functioned normally,” the official said.
