Prohibitory orders were extended and security was beefed up in Maddur of Mandya district even as the bandh called by right-wing organisations elicited a mixed response in the trouble-hit town on Tuesday (September 9, 2025).
Even though some shops had downed their shutters voluntarily in response to the bandh called to condemn the lathi-charge by police against the people, who were marching on Monday (September 8, 2025) to protest the pelting of stones during the Ganesha idol immersion procession the previous night, several business establishments in other parts carried on with their commercial activities. Movement of people and traffic on the roads remained thin, but buses and autos plied as usual in the town.
