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.

Shreyas Iyer becomes most expensive IPL buy at Rs 26.75 crore, goes to PBKS
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (PTI): India batter Shreyas Iyer became the most expensive player in the history of IPL as Punjab Kings broke the bank to buy him for Rs 26.75 crore in the tournament's mega auction here on Sunday.
Iyer surpassed the record held by Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore in the last auction.
Among others, Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh's consistency earned him a massive bid of Rs 18 crore, also from Punjab Kings via the Right to Match card, while South African speedster Kagiso Rabada was bought for Rs 10.75 crore by Gujarat Titans.
Iyer, the former Kolkata Knight Riders captain, started with a base price of Rs two crore.
Delhi Capitals had the bid at Rs 26 crore for him but PBKS raised the amount to get the player.
Chennai Super Kings started with the first bid for Arshdeep, whose base price was also Rs two crore.
Eventually, after an intense bidding war, the seamer was bought back by Punjab, who exercised the right to match option to complete the deal, having released him earlier.
This is the second time an IPL auction is being held outside the country after last year's event in Dubai.
