Mangaluru, Nov 28: Tension prevailed for sometime at Katipalla here late night on Monday November 27 after a strip of bunting put up for Dharma Sansad came off while putting up buntings for Milad-un-Nabi.
It is learnt that in celebration of the upcoming Milad-un-Nabi or Eid Milad festivity, a group was putting up buntings at Katipalla.
Buntings of Dharma Sansad, the three-day religious parliament in Udupi by the VHP that ended on Sunday November 26, had also been put up at the same spot.
When the group was tying the buntings to an electric pole, one of the strips of Dharma Sansad bunting fell off.
Assuming that the buntings were being purposely removed, a group gathered at the spot and started raising objections.
Soon, a large crowd from both communities gathered and heated exchange of words ensued.
The police on receiving information rushed to the spot and managed to bring the situation under control.
Finally, after police intervention, both the groups dispersed from the spot.
