The bandh call given by various organisations against the sudden transfer of SP Sandeep Patil has evoked good response.
City buses are off the road and most of the autos as well after 9 am.
Shops in main market area are half open and majority are compeletely shut.
People have gathered at Shivaji Garden and the rally would start in some time.
People from all castes, languages took active part in the rally and only the tri color was seen. Slogans shouted were also only Jai Hind.
This kind of unity shown by the people is great and for the first time. The traffic is quite normal. But commercial establishments are shut.
Sources say that the transfer has been kept pending for two more days and SP who was supposed to assume charge today at Mandya has been told to wait till further orders. It looks very likely that the transfer order would get cancelled.
In total 33 different organisations from the city gave their memorandums to the DC which in itself shows how the people from various religions, languages and have come together.
Good Move Belgaumites if u stand United even Belgaum has good future soon 🙂
Good rule always holds support of common people!!!!
very good responce from belgaumites. hope this kind of unity will show for development also.
The whole episode reminds me of the movies KEMPEGOWDA & SINGAM…. 😉
Really heartening to see people supporting a good police officer..
This whole thing should really motivate our police forces and other officers to serve the people without any fear of political pressure…
Zabardast
This is nice move of people of BELGAUM, we like unity irrespective of caste.
Any new developments??? What is on cards today??? in case the agitation has to continue.
THIS IS THE REAL BELGAUM. HAMARA BELGAUM . JAI HIND
As far I heard, the chief secretary and home secretary have already revoked the order! Kudo's! I love Belgaum , belgaumites and its unity.. 😀
The same unity should be shown for development of the city, in forming a good Muncipal coporation instead of fighting..!! This should should be an lesson/eg to all the people of the city including representatives of the city..!!
Amazing i have no words for this kind of a response from the people of Belgaum.i have got goose bums after seeing the pic’s of the rally on the ABB site i congratulate everyone for the success of the rally. i wish the unity remains among the people of Belgaum. ABB is also playing an important role by keeping us posted and updated.Thank You ABB and its entire team for keeping the people of Belgaum updated and connected
Mr. Sandip Patil, thank you for your great service. Look the whole of Belgaum has stood with you.
This clearly shows that people love the persons who are honest and right. I don't think such kind of response will be seen if any politician is removed. So, the politicians should understand – the only way to remain in the hearts of people is by doing good work.
come on belgaum !!!!! great going ,today i m really proud of being a belgaumite !!!! people forgetting linguistic ,caste barriers come down in large number for a cause of society !!! it augments well for the future of belgaum !!!!! . pleasse keep thyese tempo for larger causes and form a strong civil group to keep tab on corruption !!! belgaum will be a best multicultered place to live ! great going !! victory against corrupt people is very near !!! hats off to all belgaumites !!!!!!
Great. Now the so called leaders know who is their real boss. Do not mess around with us anymore. We have had enough. Anna effect has come into Belgaum. We need to find out who are those so called leaders behind this transfer and then vote against them in the next election. This will teach all such traitors a lesson. Stop messing with us. The power of the common man will never be under estimated in future. This is a great occasion for Belgaum. People across all sections uniting for common good. Let this be a start and not a one off thing.

JAI HIND!!!
jai hind!… jai hind… jai hind!!!
Good response? How about the college boys/thugs scaring shop keepers into closing their shops?
I have yet to see a “good” bandh.
I wouldn’t consider disorder and confusion to be positive.
