Mangalore:  Security arrangements by armed constabulary and baton-swinging police in DK and Udupi districts have been strengthened to see that no untoward violent incident takes place in public. While Karnataka is free from Naxal troubles in 2010, the same cannot be said of communal flare-ups and political hatred in the coastal areas.
The title suit verdict awaited for long decades, is due on Thursday (today) at 3.30 pm as all lines are cleared by SC to deliver the judgment by a Lucknow bench at last.
The local police have taken out route marches to warn anti-social elements in society in sensitive areas like Ullal. CPC Seemant Kumar Singh himself was in the forefront of duty, and was given a warm welcome when he toured Ullal region. Local MLA, U.T. Khader accompanied CPC Singh on Wednesday in their contacts with common people to ensure peace.
They went to Kulai later, near Suratkal. Marches were taken out in Puttur, Sullia and Bantwal taluks also Belthangady, by ASPs and their police bands.
Patrolling will be conducted round the clock in all coastal taluks. Cinemas will remain closed on Sept.30 after 12 noon. Bursting fire crackers, or holding gatherings of 5 or more (under Sn.144) have been prohibited to maintain a serious situation. Children will be at home on Thursday and Friday.
