September 20, 2012

Mangalore, September 20: No untoward incidents have been reported from the district so far in the backdrop of the nationwide bundh call given by NDA against the diesel price rise brought about by the UPA government.

Speaking to Coastaldigest.com, Abhishek Goyal, SP, Dakshina Kannada district, said that the bundh has been peaceful and no untoward incidents have been reported.

Several places in the district including the city of Mangalore wore a deserted look as shops and malls remained shut. Most hotels also remained closed barring a limited few. Public transport was hardly seen and only a few vehicles were seen plying along the roads occasionally.

The bundh also hampered 'Ganeshotsava' celebrations in the city to a great extent with the city coming to a standstill.
