The Nanjangud bandh called by Sri Srikanteshwara Bhakta Mandali and other groups on Thursday, January 4, evoked good response despite the district administration denying permission for it.
A majority of the commercial establishments were shut for the day and the busy Ratha Beedi appeared deserted and sported an erie appearance. However, the famous Srikanteshwara temple remained open and the devotees were not affected though their numbers were relatively low.
The mandali members, who were joined by many others, took out a procession from Srikantesshwara temple to Hullahalli ciricle and raised slogans against the government and those who disrupted the rituals.
