Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra on Wednesday indicated that the State Government is contemplating strong action against those involved in rioting similar to the situation in Delhi where bulldozers were used to raze down alleged illegal structures.
In Delhi, bulldozers were pressed into service to pull down encroachments in violence-affected areas — an action which some allege was against people indulging in riots. The Home Minister said he would speak to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in this regard.
"There is thinking about it, the Chief Minister too has said there is thinking on those lines. We will have to take strong action against those involved in riots," Mr. Jnanendra said in response to a question on use of bulldozers in violence-hit areas of Delhi against people who allegedly indulged in rioting.
