Bantwal, 20 May 2016: The Dakshina Kannada district bandh that was observed by associations of people to save Netravati River opposing Yettinahole project was a major success across the taluk here on Thursday May 19.

 

 

The state-run KSRTC and private buses stalled their services fearing pelting stones by the agitators. A few auto rickshaws were plying people. The busy city center of B C Road, Kalladka, Melkar and Vittal town was deserted. 

 

Tense situation prevailed for sometime, when activists of Hindu outfits gathered at B C Road, here, but later returned to normalcy when circle inspector Belliyappa resolved their issue. 

 

The bandh was peaceful across the taluk. The police department provided tight security.
