The Mysuru district administration has refused permission for Nanjangud bandh called by a group comprising devotees of Srikanteshwara Temple to protest the alleged disruption of traditional rituals of the temple during the recent Andhakasurana Vadhe.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru R. Lokanath, who held a peace meeting in the temple town on Wednesday, said the permission for the bandh had not been given by either the district administration or the police.
For a bandh to be observed, the organisers have to obtain permission from either the district administration or the police. “The organisers may seek permission. But, permission had not been granted,” he added.
