More than 600 additional police were deployed across Mandya town on February 9 in view of a bandh called by Hindutva organisations over the Keragodu flag incident. Life seemed normal despite the bandh call. Shops remained open and vehicles were plying as usual.
The district administration had deployed strong posse of policemen drawn from the Karnataka State Reserve Police and other units in sensitive areas.
The bandh entails a bike rally from Keragodu village to Mandya town from where there will be a padayatra to the DC’s office.
