Puttur, Sep 22: The police, on Friday September 21, removed flags pertaining to Hindu and Muslim communities which were hung separately at Bannur here.
On Friday, it was seen that green flags had been tied to a tree at Bannur Junction. Nearby, saffron flags which had been hung from the same tree pertaining to Krishnastami celebrations pre-existed.
Some locals, expressing apprehension that this might give rise to tensions, conveyed their feelings to the police. The Krishnastami flags should have been removed after the programme, but they were left as they were. Perhaps irked by the fact that these flags were not removed, some Muslims had tied green flags to the same tree.
To ensure that this does not give rise to frictions, the police got both the flags removed as a precautionary measure.
