The Shivamogga district administration has imposed prohibitory orders in the Shivamogga City Corporation limits with effect from Sunday midnight.
The police resorted to lathi-charge when some miscreants threw stones during the Eid-Milad procession in in the city. Following the violence, the district administration had clamped prohibitory orders in Ragi Gudda and Shantinagar localities on Sunday evening. However, late in the night, Deputy Commissioner R. Selvamani issued an order extending the prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC, across the city.
The administration has also deployed policemen and RAF companies in the localities. Several people, allegedly responsible for the incidents, had been taken into custody.
