Superintendent of Police promises to conduct an inquiry
Activists of the Popular Front of India (PFI) staged a protest here on Friday condemning what they called “police atrocity” against them outside the Uppinangady police station on December 14.
After Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Sonawane assured them of conducting an inquiry into the alleged high-handedness of the police, the activists withdrew their protest.
As part of the ‘SP office chalo’ call, the activists assembled near the Hampankatta Circle. Later they marched till the Clock Tower where the police had placed barricades to prevent them from going ahead.

With the objective of ensuring safe travel for women, senior citizens and visiting tourists in Madurai, a new women e-auto programme was launched here on Thursday. Speaking at the launch function, Venkatesan Dhattatreyan, Regional Director, Union Ministry of Tourism, said a city like Madurai, with high heritage value, had ample scope for womenfolk to make their livelihood with decent earnings.
