Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar has clamped prohibitory orders around five kilometres of Hunsur town, ahead of Hanuma Jayanti celebrations on Saturday.
The prohibitory orders will be in place from 6 pm on Friday till 12 midnight on Saturday.
The members of Hanuma Jayanthyotsava Samiti have organised a grand procession in the town on Saturday.

In Mysuru, Hanuma Jayanti was celebrated with religious fervour on Thursday. Several rituals, special pujas, were organised at Anjaneya temples. A host of cultural programmes were organised at the temples as part of the celebrations.
