Kalaburagi Police conducted a route march on February 16 under the direction of ADGP Alok Kumar. The purpose of the march was to assess the situation before Shivaratri. Only fifteen people have been given permission by the Waqf tribunal to pray at the Shivlinga inside the Mashak Dargah. The security has been increased, and the police are closely monitoring activities around the Dargah in light of the conflict that occurred last year.
