A day after violence at Ragi Gudda and Shanti Nagar localities in Shivamogga during a religious procession, the city remained calm on Monday; business activities in the heart of the city suffered a hit as the district administration clamped prohibitory orders.
As many as 12 people, including policemen, suffered minor injuries during the stone pelting in the two localities on Sunday evening. A group of miscreants indulged in violence after the Id Milad procession was over. They allegedly targeted houses of people belonging to a particular community, threw stones, and damaged vehicles parked outside.
The district administration immediately clamped prohibitory orders in the localities and deployed police forces.
