No bandh tomorrow: Police commissioner
Bengaluru, May 27: The police department would not allow any kinds of bandh within the limits of capital city Bengaluru on May 28, said City Police Commissioner T Sunil Kumar.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, the Commissioner said that the police would take stringent action if the bandh organizers forced business establishments to close them, block roads and obstruct trafficular movement in the city. There is no provision for the bandh in the city. Even knowing this, nobody should try to observe bandh. In case, any persons tried to do so, police would take legal action against them, he warned.
Required police security would be given if the organizers conduct protest, procession and dharna peacefully. If any person tried to take law into their hands, they would attract legal action, he said.

Magisterial probe ordered into Goa nightclub fire; FIR lodged against owner, GM
Panaji (PTI): Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Sunday ordered a magisterial inquiry into the fire at a nightclub which claimed 25 lives.
Speaking to PTI, Sawant said an FIR has been lodged against the owner and the general manager of the nightclub and they would be arrested.
The fire broke out at Birch by Romeo Lane after midnight. The popular party venue at Arpora village, located around 25 km from the state capital Panaji, opened last year.
CM Sawant, in a post on X, said, "I am closely reviewing the situation arising from the tragic fire incident at Arpora, in which 25 people have lost their lives and six have been injured."
"All six injured persons are in a stable condition and are receiving the best medical care. I have ordered a magisterial inquiry into the entire incident to identify the cause and fix responsibility," he said.
Speaking to PTI, Sawant said the police have registered an FIR against the owner and the general manager of the nightclub, and they would be arrested.
He said this is the first time that such an incident has happened in Goa.
A preliminary inquiry has indicated that the fire started on the first floor of the club, and due to congestion and small doors, the customers could not move out, the CM said.
"Some of them rushed to the ground floor and got trapped there," he said.
