Tight security outside Juma Masjid in Mangaluru’s Malali, Section 144 within 500-metre radius after temple-like structure found

New Delhi, 25/5: After Hindu organisations held a ‘Tambula Prashne’ on Wednesday at Sri Ramanjaneya Bhajana Mandira at Thenkulipadi in Ganjimutt to find a solution to the controversy over temple-like structure that was noticed during the demolition of a mosque in Malali last month, the police have strengthened security near the masjid.

Commissioner of Police N Shashi Kumar has clamped Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) within 500-metre radius of Jumma Masjid in Malali of Thenkulipadi village in Bajpe police station limits till 8 am of May 26
