The situation in Kannur district, where a BJP-sponsored hartal was being observed today to protest against the killing of an ABVP member, was under control and no untoward incident has been reported so far, police said. A member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Shyam Prasad, was yesterday allegedly hacked to death by a three-member gang in the district when he was going to his house at Koothuparamba on his motorcycle.
