Mangaluru: A day after the bandh declared by Sangh Parivar following the murder of rowdy-sheeter Suhas Shetty, life in Mangaluru returned to normal on Saturday.
Members of the Sangh Parivar had called for a bandh in the district on Friday, May 2, in protest against Shetty's murder. The district authorities had issued prohibitory orders for areas within the jurisdiction of the Mangaluru Police Commissionerate, permitting auto rickshaws and private vehicles to use the roads. As a result, private buses in the city halted their operations and most shops remained shut. Incidents of stone-pelting on buses and assaults on innocent youngsters were reported from parts of Mangaluru on Friday.
On Saturday morning, however, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and private buses were seen plying on the roads in the city. Auto rickshaws and goods transport vehicles were also seen functioning as usual.
Markets and shops at various parts like Bunder in the heart of the city were opened for business on Saturday, which assured the customers and other citizens that the city was returning to normalcy.

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
