Oct 10: After five days of cloistered life, people returned to normal life. But the element of fear was evident. Further the eagerness to get back to routine life made people wait for 7 am on Tuesday.
Restless that they were, people were even seen near the barricades installed by the police by 6.45 am. As the clock struck 7 am, the vehicles zoomed on the deserted roads.
Within minutes Mangalore and around got up on its feet and moved around normally. However only few city and service buses ventured on the street. The rest followed them after a couple of hours.
Several shops remained closed till 11 pm, but the Central Market was buzzing with regular trade.
Lorries carrying vegetables, LPG cylinders, flowers and other essential commodities began entering Mangalore and soon trade resumed its lost pace.
Rumours were also active as reiterating the fear that people had after the dark days of violence.
However it was a great relief for people as they were fed up with the forced hibernation.
The situation in the city remained peaceful, but stray instances of violence were reported from the suburbs.
Police security was intense and they were watchful.
