Mysuru: The T Narasipura bandh, the call given in
protest against governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot’s decision to permit prosecution of the CM Siddaramaiah, passed off peacefully on Monday. The Congress local leaders had called for a dawn-to-dusk bandh.
T Narasipura is the home turf of Mysuru district minister HC Mahadevappa.
The agitators carried out a procession in the morning, urging the shopkeepers and businessmen to shut their shops in support of the bandh.
Tense moments prevailed when the agitators tried to shut down a commercial establishment as the owner refused to down the shutters, resulting in a war of words. Later, police intervened and dispersed the crowd.
Many schools were shut by the bandh organisers. Attendance was thin in those schools, which remained open.
