The Mandya district administration has appealed to various organisations to withdraw their calls for bandh on February 7 and 9 over the flag row in Keragodu village.
While the BJP has given a call for bandh on February 9 in protest against the lowering of the saffron flag and hoisting of the national tricolour from a 108 feet tall flagpole in Keragodu village, the Samana Manaskara Vedike, a forum of progressive organizations, has given a call for Mandya bandh on February 7 to uphold peace in Mandya and maintain its tradition of harmony among different sections of the society.
Two separate meetings were convened at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Mandya on Monday for the organizations that had given a call for bandh on February 7 and 9.
