Normalcy returns to Ullal, bus drivers resort to strike; MLA appeals for peace

April 22, 2013

Mangalore, Apr 22: Even as police have claimed that Ullal has returned to normalcy on Monday after episodes of tension following a minor accident on Sunday evening, buses have remained off road on Monday as a retaliation to the Sunday's clash.

Ullal town, situated about 14 kms from Mangalore has witnessed communal unrest on Sunday night after a minor mishap. This also called for prohibitory orders to avert any untoward incidents, along with deputing of Central Reserve Police Force in sensitive zones as the elections are round approaching.

While the police arrested three persons, Ashok, Mustafa and Lathif, in connection to the incident, bus operating in Ullal region have given a call to stop plying buses on Ullal route on Monday as a mark of protest. Miscreants had pelted stones on two buses during Sunday night's clashes.

Positively responding to strike call, most of the bus operators kept their buses off road. However, Ullal police have said that the bus service may resume later in the day.

Meanwhile Mangalore MLA U T Khader has urged the local residents not to politicize the issue. “As the state is gearing up for Assembly polls, people should behave with more responsibility. You should not pay heed to rumours and should not take law in to your hand at any cost,” he appealed the people.
