Mangaluru has been turned into a fortress with the Karnataka government hoping to avoid a repeat of the clashes witnessed on Tuesday in Bengaluru.
Karnataka BJP president BS Yedyurappa was detained and several other party leaders were arrested on Thursday as they attempted to march towards the office of the district collector as part of its ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally. Several thousand BJP workers had gathered in the heart of Bengaluru for a protest that did not have police permission. The city had turned into a fortress ahead of the protest with over 5,000 security personnel, including RAF, deployed to control the rally.
