Mangalore, September 16: The situation continued to remain tense but under control in the troubled areas of Mangalore where violence erupted after attacks on churches and prayer halls by suspected Hindu activists, police said on Tuesday.

A bandh called by 'Sriram Sena' to protest stabbing of one of its activists on Monday evoked good response in the area as most of the shops, business establishments, schools and colleges remained closed on Tuesday, the police added.

Police are maintaining tight vigil in all the areas and over 50 suspected Bajrang Dal activists have been arrested in connection with the attack in the three districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chikmagalur.

On Monday, hundreds of Christians took to streets in parts of Mangalore and Bantwal protesting Sunday's attack on churches and prayer houses over alleged forcible conversions by Missionaries, a charge denied by the Bishop of Mangalore.
