Udupi: Following the eviction of the protest pandal at the Clock Tower here, a clamor erupted between the CMC (City Municipal Council) and BJP (Bharatiya Janatha Party) on 30th August, Wednesday.
A protest march was organized by the BJP demanding the commencement of sand mining in the district. However when the march arrived at the DC office after addressing the protesters, the pandal was dismantled by the CMC at the clock tower.
The BJP protesters who returned to continue the protest after the dismantling, created a ruckus at the protest venue. However, a clarification was later issued by the CMC stating that the protest did not have prior permission from the CMC.
