Bengaluru: Over 100 people have been arrested in connection with the garment workers' protest over the Provident Fund issue in Bengaluru.
Several garment units in the state are still closed fearing a backlash from police.
Protesters had gone on the rampage pelting stones at Hebbagodi police station and torching seized vehicles forcing the government to revoke the amendment to Provident Fund rules that caused the unexpected spontaneous unrest.
The agitation which began on Monday, spun out of control on Tuesday in which several people, including 25 policemen, were injured and traffic was thrown out of gear as thousands of workers took to the streets at different places.
City Police Commissioner has promulgated prohibitory orders under section 144 of CrPC in the limits of Bengaluru city till the midnight of April 22.
