The restriction will be in force from 6 pm to 6 am from August 5 to 8. Karnataka's ADGP (Law and Order) Alok Kumar has been sent again to Mangaluru to review the situation.
The police have banned public funerals in Mangaluru during this period. Earlier, male pillion riders were banned; however, the order was withdrawn later.
A man was stabbed to death outside a shop by masked attackers in Mangaluru on July 28. The murder, seen on CCTV camera, happened amid tension in the district over the killing of BJP youth wing leader Praveen Nettaru on July 26.
