Summary:
Bengaluru (Karnataka): Bengaluru Police Commissioner T.
Sunil Kumar on Thursday ordered to restrict all kinds of public procession in Karnataka tomorrow to prevent any untoward incident on the occasion of Tipu Jayanti. Tipu Jayanti is being observed since 2015 following a government decision, which had triggered a major row and caused violence in Kodagu district that year. However, opposition BJP and some outfits are opposed to Tipu Jayanti celebrations. “No pro- or anti-Tipu procession will be permitted in the city. If required, we will impose Section 144 and a strict action will be taken against anyone who breaks the rules,” Kumar said..
