REPORT OF RIOTS IN KOLAR – PUCL (K) AND CFD (K)

On 2.10.1990, Kolar was rocked with communal violence. The clashes between two communities Hindu – Muslim resulted in a long curfew of 78 days in the town; a record of sots in South India!! The clashes were the direct result of development of communalism in a peaceful town, over the years.
