Sullia BJP leader murder: Hindutva organisations force shut shops, businesses
Sullia: In the background of BJP Yuva Morcha leader Praveen Nettaru’s murder at Bellare on Tuesday night, several shops and businesses in Sullia, Puttur and Kadaba Taluks shut shop at the behest of Hindutva organizations.
More than 50 activists belonging to Hindutva organizations were reportedly observed travelling on the main road calling for a bandh at Sullia. In the wake of this, all shops located at Sullia’s Hale Gate till Ratha Beedi have been shut down.
Only a few shops at Ratha Beedi till Gandhi Nagar remain open. Private buses have temporarily halted their transportation services and auto drivers have voluntarily participated in the bandh.
However, medical shops and milk parlours are operational as normal.
School children were observed returning to their homes, as some schools in Sullia have already declared a holiday.
