The Congress and the BJP called off their proposed rallies in Madikeri on August 26, hours after the district administration imposed prohibitory orders across Kodagu fearing a threat to the law and order situation.
The former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced in Bengaluru on Tuesday that the party had decided to put off its scheduled ‘Madikeri Chalo’ programme in view of the Kodagu district administration’s decision to impose prohibitory orders for four days from August 24.
