Just got a call from my wife , one of her colleagues on his way to the airport had to turn back because of roads being blocked.

@ Sammyboy , It is not a rumour , infact tension started this morning as some anti social elements have throne a swine's head into a mosque in hebbal or reddy palya. My Colleague had a very tough time making it to work.

There is unrest but its under control, I spoke to a reliable source who works with a leading newspaper in Bangalore.

JC Road(Munnireddy Palya), Nandidurg Road, Coles Park area are sensitive.

sammyboy · 11th July 2008, 17:26

shucks, i have run out of expressions for such ppl who do such things, guess i will leave for home (old madras road) n work from home rest of the evening. Everyone please be safe.

Update :

Lots of rumours flying around about the riots, I myself got calls asking to shut (We are on Infantry Road).

Fact remains that everything is under control and the Commissioner has also lifted all road blocks / curfew.

This is the advisory that was just issued by our company...

"Dear all,
There are reports about communal riots in Shivajinagar, TV tower, JC Nagar, JC Road and Hebbal. The police are out in force to maintain law and order.
The situation is under control, however, there are restricted movements on certain roads in the above mentioned areas.
Employees traveling under own arrangements need to be cautious on the roads"

Be careful guys.

Some minor unrest in JC Nagar - 3 cops hurt, no other damage. Prohibitory orders imposed in JC Nagar till 13th July. Rest of Bengalooru, peaceful.
