The project, which had faced multiple delays, took off on Sunday with the initial demolition of a few structures. It may be recalled that the government had sanctioned Rs 47 crore for the road widening project. Compensation and cheque distribution for oustees is currently underway. A major round of demolitions is scheduled from 6 am onwards on Monday. The district administration and police have stepped up monitoring to ensure smooth execution. District Collector Sandeep Kumar Jha cancelled the weekly Prajavani grievance redressal programme for Monday and convened a special meeting with R&B, municipal, engineering and revenue officials. He appealed to people not to visit the collectorate to submit petitions. Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police Gite Mahesh Babasaheb also held a separate meeting with senior police officials to prevent any law and order issues. Around 200 personnel are expected to be deployed at the demolition site. Following eviction notices, several business establishments and residents have vacated the area voluntarily. To maintain order, police have imposed prohibitory orders, restricting public assembly within 100 metres of the demolition zone until the work is completed. Section 163(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (formerly Section 144 CrPC) has also been enforced.

Hindu activist Suhas Shetty's murder triggers tension in Mangaluru; Section 144 imposed, bandh in force
The 30-year-old murder accused was murdered by unidentified assailants on May 1 in Mangaluru. Mangaluru: Grief and fear gripped the coastal city of Mangaluru on Friday as thousands gathered to bid farewell to Hindu activist Suhas Shetty, who was brutally murdered late Thursday night in Kinnipadavu, Bajpe. The 34-year-old was attacked with lethal weapons by unidentified assailants, sparking widespread outrage across Dakshina Kannada district. Suhas, known among locals for his community work and association with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), was described by neighbours as 'quiet but fiercely committed to his beliefs.' His father, Ravi Shetty, stood silently outside A.J. Hospital, his face etched with shock. 'He left home in the evening and never returned,' he whispered. District-Wide Bandh and Section 144 in Effect In response to the killing, the VHP called for a bandh across Dakshina Kannada from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on May 2. Meanwhile, Mangaluru Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal enforced Section 144 CrPC, banning public gatherings and provocative acts until May 6. 'These measures are necessary to prevent any outbreak of violence,' said Agrawal, citing the tense communal undertones surrounding the case. The order also restricts the carrying of weapons, public processions without permission, and inflammatory content on social media. Heavy Security Across Sensitive Zones Police presence has been intensified throughout the district. Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) units are patrolling sensitive areas, while check-posts have been set up at major entry and exit points. 'We are monitoring everything closely, from WhatsApp forwards to public gatherings,' said a senior officer posted in Bantwal. A City on Edge Suhas's funeral procession, which began from A.J. Hospital at 10:30 AM, saw thousands line the route in Karinja, many holding saffron flags and chanting slogans. While the mood was one of mourning, there was also palpable anger. VHP regional coordinator Keshavamurthy stated, 'We want justice, not just arrests. We want assurance this won't happen again.' Appeals for Calm Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka called Suhas Shetty's murder 'a heartbreaking failure of law and order' and held the Congress government responsible. 'A young life has been lost. People are scared. The government must wake up,' he said, urging authorities to ensure justice and maintain peace across Mangaluru. Authorities are urging residents to stay calm and refrain from spreading unverified information. 'This is a moment of grief, not vengeance,' said Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan. 'We request cooperation to maintain peace.' As the city observes a bandh, shops are shuttered, streets are nearly deserted, and tension simmers just beneath the surface, yet amidst it all, Mangaluru waits, hoping justice will follow grief.
