Police have tightened security across Belagavi district, the epicentre of a decades-old border dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra, as the case pertaining to it is coming up before the Supreme Court.
Police officials said they have installed 21 check-posts in Belagavi district including the city, and also additional Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) forces have been deployed.
"We have decided to take measures to see to it that no untoward incident takes place, with a case coming up in the Supreme Court and also to see to it that incidents that happened last week, don't repeat," ADGP (Law and Order) Alok Kumar has said.
This comes in the wake of some incidents like causing damage or blackening of buses and vehicles on both sides, over the border dispute.
