Mangaluru, Dec 5: Life in Dakshina Kannada (DK) remained unaffected for the state-wide bandh call given by pro-Kannada organisations, on Saturday December 5.
Pro-Kannada organizations had called for bandh on Saturday in protest against the BJP-led state government for setting up the Maratha Development Authority with Rs 50 crore corpus fund.
In the city, business in the central market remains as usual. KSRTC bus and private bus services were normal in the city as well as in the district. Auto rickshaws, cabs, hotels, fuel stations, and provision stores, business establishments and other essential services remained unaffected for the bandh call.
According to an officer from KSRTC Mangaluru division, KSRTC bus service is normal and nearly 123 buses out of 126 buses in Mangaluru Depot. Three buses were stopped due to Covid-19 reasons.
In the limits of city police commissionerate and Dakshina Kannada district, police have tightened security so that no untoward incident occurs.
