Night Restrictions in Mangalore Extended Again Till 6 a.m. on August 5, Friday

Dakshina Kannada district Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra has ordered the extension of restrictions on commercial activities and unnecessary movement of people imposed in Dakshina Kannada till 6 a.m. on August 5 Friday. The restrictions on the functioning of shops and other commercial establishments and unnecessary movement of people between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. will continue on Wednesday and Thursday. The police, both city and district, have sought for continuation of these restrictions.

Soon after the murder of Mohammed Fazil on Thursday last, Dr. Rajendra imposed the restrictions, effective from Friday last, on the request of the police that the two recent murders, including that of BJP Yuva Morcha worker Praveen Nettaru, have created a tense atmosphere in the district. As the crimes were committed in the late evening hours, it was essential to restrict the movement of people, he had said.
