Mangaluru Feb 12, 2015: According to Police Commissioner S. Murugan , the organisers of Hindu Samajotsava have decided to end the event an hour before the scheduled closure on March 1. Speaking to media on Feb 11, Commissioner Murugan said that the organisers were asked to end the event around 5 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. This was to ensure peace during the return of people from the event to be held at the Nehru Maidan. He informed that the organisers readily agreed.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad is holding the Hindu Samajotsava on March 1 with address by Sadhvi Balika Saraswati Mishra from Madhya Pradesh. The event is being held to mark the golden jubilee celebrations of the VHP.
